Ingredients

Tofu Turkey

1 16 Ounce Block Super Firm Tofu
1 Tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil optional
2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
2 Tablespoons Maple Syrup or Agave
1 Teaspoon Italian Seasoning
¼ Teaspoon Dried Sage
¼ Teaspoon Dried Parsley

Sandwich

1 Large Baguette sliced in half **see notes
2 Tablespoons Vegan Mayo
6 Slices Vegan Mozzarella or Provolone Cheese optional
1 Large Heirloom or Vine Tomato thinly sliced
¼ Small Red Onion thinly sliced
1 Cup Finely Shredded Lettuce
½ Cup Dill Pickle Slices
¼ Cup Banana Pepper Rings
Red Wine Vinegar

Instructions

Cook the tofu. In a small bowl whisk together the soy sauce, maple syrup, Italian seasoning, sage, and parsley. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the tofu and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden (if your pan is smaller you may need to do this in two batches to get each piece cooked on both sides). Add the sauce and cook another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing the sauce to cook off completely.
Assemble the sandwich. Spread the bottom of the baguette with mayo. Add the cooked tofu, the cheese, if using, followed by the lettuce, tomato, onion, banana pepper, and pickles. If desired, finish with a drizzle of red wine vinegar. Close up the sandwich and slice into 3-4 servings.

Notes

**I used a softer French style baguette that was wrapped in plastic - not a crusty baguette that is found open/in paper. The softer baguette is more deli-style.
