Rub the turkey with salt, thyme, and garlic.
Sear the turkey on all sides in olive oil.
Add the tomato puree, onion, and bay leaves.
Cover and cook for 65 to 70 minutes, until the turkey is tender.
Slice the meat and boil the sauce until it thickens.
Sauce the rolls and fill them with turkey, cabbage, carrot, and pickles.
💡 Tip: Resting the turkey in the sauce keeps it moist; slicing it thinly before filling the sandwich is easier.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the saucy sandwiches hot with extra cabbage slaw on the side.
