[Subway](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chicken-bacon-ranch-sandwich) is looking to update their meat selection by offering rotisserie-style chicken and carved turkey. When it comes to fast food restaurants, many offer the same selection of deli meats. These new sandwiches offer a tasty option for those who appreciate high-quality cuts of meat.

The new sandwiches are part of an effort to expand Subway's standard meat selection. One sandwich features rotisserie-style chicken with American cheese and honey mustard sauce. The other sandwich is made with [thick-cut carved turkey](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thanksgiving-turkey-sub-sandwich), which contains no artificial preservatives. Both sandwiches are currently being offered in a Footlong size.

The new sandwiches provide a higher-quality option for those who are looking for an alternative to traditional deli meat. The gourmet cuts of meat may also mark the beginning of the holiday season.
