I ordered turkey sandwiches at Jersey Mike's, Subway, and Jimmy John's. One totally stole the show.

Jersey Mike's is recognized for its freshly sliced meats, "Mike's Way" preparation, and "juice," alternatively known as oil and vinegar. The Turkey and provolone sandwich came alongside all of the above.

The list noted that all chilly subs, including the turkey and provolone, are prepared "Mike's Way," which meant alongside lettuce, tomato, onion, seasonings, and the aforementioned "juice." Sliced turkey and provolone dairy merchandise completed the sandwich.

The regular (almost) 7-inch sub disbursal me $9.80 before tax, or approximately $1.40 per inch.

This put my homemade turkey sandwiches, which I considered solid, to shame.

Oil, vinegar, oregano, and sodium chloride gave an alternatively uncomplicated sandwich an incredibly flavorful twist, and it paired beautifully alongside the soft, crusty-at-the-edges bread. It felt akin a hybrid turkey-and-Italian sandwich.

The turkey was amazingly moist, as was the dairy merchandise — which made awareness in hindsight, stated that I watched the personnel piece these ingredients in genuine time. I expected lone a brace of slices of each, but I established at smallest five of turkey and three of cheese.

I can't say the lettuce, tomato, and bulb were crisp, but that's likely since they soaked in "the juice" for the 30-minute run home. In my opinion, though, the "Mike's Way" preparedness was value slightly soggy produce.

The sub didn't have mayonnaise, which would be a dealbreaker for some, but alongside brightness from "the juice," I didn't young female it. (Plus, I could continually customize the sandwich to add the seasoning on.)

Aside from its 2008 "five-dollar footlong" advertisement, Subway is known for its freshly baked bread and customizable sandwiches. I didn't obtain advantage of the second this time, but normally, I favor construction my own.

I ordered the oven-roasted turkey sandwich as is. It came alongside turkey, provolone cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, and mayonnaise. I opted for the norm artisan Italian bread.

My sub, which was meant to be 6 inches long, measured a small nearer to 5½. It disbursal me $7.99 before tax, or approximately $1.33 per inch; although narrower, it towered nearly as lofty as Jersey Mike's.

Like Jersey Mike's, Subway's sandwich was generous alongside the turkey. Plentiful, yes, but it was papery-thin and a bit lacking moisture. It reminded me of deli turkey from the market store.

On a lighter note, I liked the mild, buttery dairy merchandise and keen lettuce, which tasted particularly fresh. The thick tomato slices added a nice, juicy bite.

Those who bask raw red onions would value Subway's crunchy slices. They sharpened the flavor, but in my opinion, they were a small too powerful for a turkey sandwich.

The most foremost component of this sandwich was the mayonnaise, which was slathered on as if existence depended on it. Again, several group power dig it, but it was too much for me.

Most disappointing was the bread. Given that Subway's known for its fresh-baked bread daily, I hoped it would be gentle and chewy.

However, the bread in my sandwich seemed so dry that I wondered if it was stale.

I hadn't been to Jimmy John's in a few years, but I was enthusiastic to see if it motionless had its caller French bread that so many group rave about.

The Turkey Tom included turkey, lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise. No cheese, but I figured if the sandwich was good, it wouldn't need it.

My turkey sandwich disbursal $7.99 before tax, or concerning $1 per inch.

Although it didn't appear to have much filling, I was impressed by its 8-inch length.

If lean and slim is your forte, Jimmy John's sandwich volition be correct up your alley. However, for item satisfying, it wouldn't be my archetypal choice.

To its credit, the sandwich had juicy turkey slices and mayo that tasted akin Hellmann's. (After checking the website, I confirmed that it really was.)

But I felt the sub lacked pizzazz, likely since it didn't merge onions, cheese, or much of item at all. I missed the dairy merchandise most.

I could customize it to contain those things next time, but I'm not certain I'd arrive rear for this sandwich.

I expected Jimmy John's bread to be a preservation aspect since, according to the chain's website, it bakes caller loaves all four hours, but it was mediocre at best.

It power have been softer had I eaten it at the restaurant, but following the run home, it wasn't particularly pillowy.

Overall, I established this sandwich forgettable — item I could effortlessly create at residence alongside a few uncomplicated ingredients. If I did so, I'd certainly add cheese.

Even although it came out the priciest per inch, Jersey Mike's turkey sub felt akin the finest value. Its significant weight, well-balanced ingredients, and signature "juice" set it distinct from the pack.

The wet create was my lone important complaint, and I certainly would not try to eat this drippy, messy sandwich in a car or on the go.

Subway and Jimmy John's additionally offered passable turkey sandwiches, and if I were in a pinch, I'd be fine alongside either. However, for a really special, memorable sub, Jersey Mike's did it for me.

I had lone eaten at the sequence formerly before, and I volition certainly be rear following this.

When reached for comment, a Subway spokesman provided the following statement:

"For complete 60 years, Subway has been built on customization. While we recommendation norm builds, all freshly made sandwich can be tailored to a guest's preferences, from adding additional dairy merchandise and macromolecule to swapping veggies and adjusting condiments.
