Jersey Mikes

Hey foodies! After my last Jersey Mike's adventure with the classic Italian, I couldn't stop thinking about another fan favorite: the Giant Turkey Sub. Seriously, the buzz around this one is huge, and for good reason! If you're like me, you're always on the hunt for a satisfying meal that's both fresh and flavorful, and Jersey Mike's often hits the spot. So, what's the deal with their Giant Turkey Sub? First off, the turkey itself is always sliced fresh right in front of you – that's a game-changer for me. No pre-packaged stuff here! It's usually piled high, giving you that satisfying heft you expect from a "Giant" sub. I typically go for it 'Mike's Way,' which means onions, lettuce, tomatoes, olive oil blend, red wine vinegar, and spices. For the turkey, I often add provolone cheese, which melts just perfectly with the oil and vinegar. It’s that balance of savory turkey, tangy dressing, and crisp veggies that makes it so addictive. Compared to the robust flavors of the Italian sub with its cold cuts – that hearty mix of salami, capicola, and prosciuttini – the Turkey sub offers a lighter, yet equally fulfilling, experience. It’s perfect when you want something fresh but still packed with flavor. I remember getting my Italian sub cut in half, just like the one I had with those delicious cold cuts, lettuce, and onions from the picture, and the turkey sub always gets the same treatment. It makes it so much easier to share, or just to handle if you’re trying to tackle a giant! And let's not forget the sides! Just like my Italian sub came with those crunchy BBQ chips and a refreshing whole cucumber, a Turkey sub pairs perfectly with them too. There’s something about the saltiness of the chips and the cool crunch of the cucumber that just completes the meal. Don't skip that little dipping sauce either; it's always a nice addition. A pro tip for ordering the Giant Turkey Sub: don't be afraid to customize! While 'Mike's Way' is a classic for a reason, you can always ask for extra pickles, add some jalapeños for a kick, or swap out the cheese. My personal favorite is adding a hint of mustard to the provolone and turkey – it adds a lovely zest. Also, always check their app for deals; sometimes you can snag a giant sub at a great price, making that satisfying meal even better. It’s not just about the quality ingredients like the fresh-sliced turkey; it’s about the whole experience of a customized, perfectly prepared sub, served with your favorite sides just like that iconic Italian sub with its cold cuts, lettuce, and onions, always served meticulously. If you're hesitant about trying the turkey, don't be! It's a reliable choice that delivers consistent quality. It’s a great option if you’re looking for something a bit less intense than the Italian but still want that signature Jersey Mike's taste profile. Next time you're there, give the Giant Turkey Sub a try – 'Mike's Way,' of course! You might just find your new go-to.
