The Best jersey mikes mikes way recipe

I’m so excited to share with you my favorite Jersey Mike’s Mikes Way recipe. I’ve been making this sandwich at home for years, and it’s a staple in our household. My kids love it, and it’s perfect for a quick lunch or dinner.

I’ve even served it at family gatherings and potlucks, and it’s always a hit. The Mikes Way sandwich is a signature item at Jersey Mike’s, and it’s easy to see why. The combination of juicy turkey breast, crispy bacon, melted mozzarella cheese, and fresh lettuce on a crusty sub roll is absolute perfection.

And the best part? It’s incredibly easy to make at home. The key to making a great Mikes Way sandwich is in the technique.

You want to make sure that the turkey is sliced thinly, so it cooks evenly and stays juicy. I also like to use a combination of iceberg and romaine lettuce for a nice crunch. And don’t even get me started on the importance of using high-quality bacon – it makes all the difference in the world.

One of the things I love about this recipe is that it’s so customizable. If you’re not a fan of bacon, you can easily swap it out for prosciutto or ham. And if you’re looking for a vegetarian option, you can simply omit the bacon and add some extra veggies instead.

For the Sub

1 (8-inch) soft sub roll or hoagie bun
3 slices provolone cheese
3 slices salami
3 slices pepperoni

For a more authentic taste, use Boar’s Head meats and cheeses. Adjust the vinaigrette quantities to your preference, and toast the roll lightly if you prefer a warm sub.

Storing leftovers is simple if you keep the components separate. The bread stays fresh in a sealed bag at room temperature for a day, and the meats and cheese last in the fridge for a few days. When you are ready to eat again, just toast the bread lightly, pile on the cold ingredients, and add the dressing fresh.

For reheating, I do not recommend microwaving the whole sandwich because the veggies get warm and soggy. Instead, just heat the meat and cheese separately if you want it warm, then assemble with cold veggies and dressing. This recipe works wonderfully for family gatherings because everyone can build their own sandwich exactly how they like it.

Set out a platter of meats, cheeses, veggies, and dressing, and let people customize. It is a no fuss meal that pleases picky eaters and adventurous ones alike. I always get compliments when I bring this to potlucks or casual get togethers.

It is a reliable, crowd pleasing option that never disappoints.
