  4. Lightly pat mixture into a 9x5x3 inch loaf pan (pan will be half full). Place loaf pan in a shallow baking pan.

  6. Cool on wire rack for 30 minutes. Remove loaf from pan. Wrap in a double thickness of plastic wrap, then a double thickness of foil. Seal packet well. Chill for at least 6 hours or up to 2 days maximum.
  7. To serve, spread bread slices with mayonnaise. Cut loaf into 10 slices. Arrange turkey loaf slices on half of the bread slices. Add pepper strips. Cover with remaining bread, mayonnaise side down. Serve with pickles and chips
