Instructions
Slice the whole grain sub roll in half lengthwise and lay it open flat on a clean surface.
On one half of the bread, layer the lean turkey breast slices evenly, followed by the low-sodium turkey or chicken breast slices.
Place the provolone cheese slice over the layers of meat.
Next, lay the romaine lettuce leaves evenly on top of the cheese, followed by the sliced tomato, cucumber slices, and roasted red peppers.
Add the red onion rings as the final layer of vegetables.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil and red wine vinegar together. Use a brush or a spoon to drizzle this mixture evenly over the vegetables.
Sprinkle dried oregano and ground black pepper over the entire sandwich to enhance flavor.

For best results, let the sandwich sit for 2-3 minutes to allow flavors to meld, then slice in half and serve.
