To mark National Sandwich Day, Subway Canada is celebrating with a secret, off-menu creation: the TurHamKen. Available for a limited time, this indulgent sandwich features Canadian farm-raised turkey, rotisserie-style chicken, and Black Forest ham, layered with two seasonal debut ingredients: buttery stuffing and smooth vegetarian gravy.
Designed to evoke the comfort of a holiday meal, the stuffing is made from seasoned bread and savory chicken broth, while the gravy adds a rich, complementary flavor to every bite. The TurHamKen joins Subway’s new Festive Faves menu, which also includes Turkey, Chicken, and Ham subs topped with stuffing, gravy, Canadian cheddar, lettuce, tomato, and red onion.
Interested parties can find the new menu option only for a limited time at Subway Canada locations.
