Recipe for Low Fat Muffuletta

Traditionally, a muffuletta is made with salami and provolone, but for a low fat muffuletta, you can make it with lean baked ham and turkey instead, at 11 grams of fat.
This is a make ahead recipe that requires some refrigeration before consuming, but is worth the wait!
