1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray it with non-stick cooking spray.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground turkey (or beef) and diced onion until the meat is fully browned. Season with salt and pepper. Once cooked, drain any excess grease.
3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the refrigerated whole wheat French bread dough into a large rectangle, approximately 12×18 inches.
4. Evenly spread the reduced-sugar ketchup and mustard over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
5. Evenly distribute the cooked ground turkey (or beef) over the condiments. Sprinkle the crumbled turkey bacon (or bacon bits) and chopped pickles on top.
6. Place the reduced-fat American cheese slices in a single layer over the fillings.
7. Carefully roll up the dough from one of the long ends to the other, sealing the edges tightly. Place the rolled dough seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.
8. Brush the top of the dough with the beaten egg and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown.
10. Allow the bread to cool for at least five minutes before slicing. Serve with light Thousand Island dressing for dipping, if desired.
