Ingredients
Scale
- 0.5 lb lean turkey breast or roast beef, finely chopped
- 4 oz provolone, finely chopped
- 4 oz sharp cheddar, finely chopped
- 1 cup crisp lettuce, finely chopped
- 1 medium ripe tomato, finely diced
- 0.25 cup red onion, finely diced
- 0.5 cup sweet or dill pickle relish
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup ketchup
- 1 tsp hot sauce (optional)
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 1 to 2 Tbsp pickle juice
- 4 soft, sturdy hoagie rolls or thick-sliced sandwich bread
Instructions
- Gather Your Gear: Prepare a large cutting board and a sharp chef’s knife for smooth and quick assembly.
- Prep the Chop Base: Finely chop all chosen meats, cheeses, and veggies together into small, uniform pieces, aiming for a roughly diced texture.
- Mix in the Relish: Add the pickle relish to your finely chopped mixture and stir gently to combine, ensuring even distribution.
- Craft the Pink Sauce Drip: In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, hot sauce (if desired), garlic powder, and pickle juice until smooth, creamy, and light pink. Add more pickle juice or water a teaspoon at a time if the sauce is too thick.
- Assemble & Sauce: Spoon the generous chopped sandwich filling onto your hoagie rolls or bread, then drizzle generously with the creamy Pink Sauce Drip.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy your freshly made chopped sandwich while the bread is fresh, offering a satisfying crunch and creamy filling.
Notes
To avoid a soggy sandwich, do not over-chop ingredients; aim for discernible pieces. Start with a smaller amount of Pink Sauce Drip and add more to taste. Quality deli meats, crisp produce, and good pickle relish enhance the flavor. For a healthier option, use avocado oil mayonnaise.
