Turkey Ranch & Swiss Sandwiches on Ciabatta Bread


My husband and I owned and operated a sandwich shop a few years ago and one of my favorite sandwiches was the Turkey Ranch and Swiss. I made one at home the other day for lunch and really liked the homemade version. Keep three things in mind when making deli-style sandwiches at home:
  1. Use fresh deli style rolls. I love ciabatta bread and found a bag of pre-sliced rolls in the bakery at my local supermarket.
  2. Buy good quality meats and cheeses that are sliced fresh from the deli counter at the supermarket. It makes a big difference in how the sandwich tastes.
  3. Use fresh produce. I like to use bags of shredded iceberg lettuce, spinach, sliced roma (because they’re less juicy) tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, and banana peppers.
Sandwiches like these are really easy to put together and pack up for a picnic, but if you’re planning on eating them at home, they taste even better toasted under the broiler, just add vegetables after toasting.

Turkey Ranch &Swiss Sandwiches on Ciabatta Bread
printable version of this recipe

1 ciabatta roll
1 tablespoon ranch dressing
Deli sliced turkey
Deli sliced Swiss cheese
Vegetables*

Spread ranch dressing evenly over both surfaces of the ciabatta roll. Fold slices of turkey and place them neatly on the top and bottom of each roll half. Put one slice of cheese on the top of the ciabatta roll. If desired, toast sandwich directly under broiler until cheese is melted, meat is heated, and edges of roll are dark brown. Add any or all of the vegetables listed below. Enjoy!

*shredded lettuce, spinach, bell peppers, onion, cucumbers, olives, mushrooms, banana peppers.
