Notes

NUTRITION INFO IS FOR HARISSA ONLY, as the other items will vary based on your choice of bread, turkey and cheese!
To roast the bell pepper, put on top rack of oven and broil until pepper is charred and tender, rotate as needed. You'll know it's finished because the skin will blacken and separate, making it easy to peel.
