Turkey Tom Jimmy John’s: The Classic Fresh Turkey Sandwich
In 2026, where food trends come and go, the Turkey Tom® stands as a testament to the power of high-quality basics.
It is a “Crowd Pleaser” for a reason: it combines lean, hand-sliced turkey breast with the crispest produce in the fast-casual industry.
We consider this the ultimate “Canvas Sub”—perfect as is, but incredible when customized.

The “Expert” Customization Hacks
While the standard #4 is delicious, our 2026 regulars know how to “hack” the Turkey Tom to maximize flavor without adding significant calories:
- The “Club Lulu” Budget Swap: Love the #16 Club Lulu? Order a #4 and add Bacon. It’s often slightly cheaper depending on local franchise pricing.
- The Zesty Upgrade: Ask for Jimmy Peppers® and Oregano-Basil. This adds a spicy, herbal kick that cuts through the creaminess of the mayo.
- The Texture Play: Add Cucumbers and Onions (both are free add-ons). The cucumbers add a refreshing snap that complements the lean turkey perfectly.
- The “LBI” (Leave Bread In): By default, we hollow out our bread to make room for toppings. If you want a heartier, more carb-dense meal, ask for “LBI.”
Why it’s the Best Choice for Different Diets
- For Keto/Low-Carb: The Turkey Tom Unwich® is a 2026 staple, offering a high-protein meal with only 5g of net carbs.
- For Calorie Counters: Request “EZ Mayo” or “No Mayo” to drop the calorie count of a regular 8″ sub by roughly 100–150 calories.
- For Athletes: The Giant Turkey Tom provides nearly 50g of protein, making it an ideal post-workout recovery meal.
