Stuffed Finger Sandwiches

• 1 loaf French bread (about 24 X 2 inches)
• 2/3 cup low-fat cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning
• 3/4 teaspoon garlic, crushed
• 4 ounces turkey, thinly sliced
• 10 -12 fresh spinach leaves
• 1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup artichoke heart, chopped

1. Slice French bread lengthwise cutting off the top third of the loaf. Using your fingers, remove and discard enough of the soft inner bread to leave a 1/2-inch-thick shell.
2. Combine cream cheese, Italian seasoning and garlic in a small bowl and stir to mix well. Spread half of this mixture evenly over the inside of the bottom shell.
3. Roll up turkey slices and arrange them in an even layer on the cream cheese.
4. Lay spinach leaves over the turkey.
5. Put a layer of red pepper strips over the spinach leaves.
6. Put a layer of arthichoke hearts over the red pepper strips.
7. Spread remaining cream cheese over the inside of the top shell.
8. Place the top shell over the bottom shell to reform the loaf. Wrap the loaf tightly with aluminum foil or plastic wrap.
9. Chill for several hours or overnight.
10. When ready to serve, unwrap the loaf, and using a serrated knife, cut the loaf diagonally into 1-inch slices. Secure each piece with a wooden toothpick and arrange on a platter and serve.
