Preparing the Herb-Infused Aioli
Start by making the herb-infused aioli. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced garlic, chopped parsley, thyme, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. For a more intense herb flavor, let the aioli sit in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before assembling the sandwiches.
Assembling the Sandwiches
Spread a generous layer of herb aioli on one side of each bread slice. Layer the sliced roast turkey evenly on two slices of bread. Add lettuce and tomato slices if desired. Top with the remaining bread slices, aioli side down, to complete the sandwiches.
Serving Suggestions

Tips for Success
