Method

In food processor or blender fitted with metal blade, combine dressing, green pepper, red onion, green and ripe olives, garlic, basil and oregano. Pulse ingredients until finely chopped, similar to pesto.

Cut bread loaves lengthwise. Remove bread from inside of halves, leaving a one-inch border attached to crust. Spread 3 tablespoons ( 1- 1/2 oz.) cream cheese inside each cut bread half. Spread 1/2 cup olive mixture over cream cheese on each bread half.

Layer in bottom half of each loaf: 1-1/2 cups spinach leaves, 4 tomato slices, 10 oz. egg slices, 4 oz. turkey ham, 4 oz. mozzarella cheese and 4 oz. turkey breast.

Carefully close the sandwich. Press together and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate. For serving, cut each loaf into 6 slices.
