This is a far cry from the mile-long Italian hero, piled high with fatty, salt-cured meats and cheeses and oily dressing But the fun of eating a hero is still there. We’ve used lowfat smoked turkey and mozzarella with fresh vegetables and marinated mushrooms.

Ingredients

Marinated Mushrooms

  • 1 cup thinly sliced mushrooms
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic or red wine vinegar

Method

  • Combine the mushrooms, vinegar, oil, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper in a small bowl, stirring to blend. Let stand for 10 minutes. Add the arugula and toss to combine.
  • Preheat the broiler. Spoon the mushroom and arugula mixture into the top half of the loaf of bread. Fold the slices of turkey to fit the bread and arrange them, overlapping slightly, over the mush
