Step 1: Slice French bread lengthwise cutting off the top third of the loaf. Using your fingers, remove enough of the soft inner bread to leave a 1/2 inch thick shell. You can freeze the inner bread for another use.
Step 2: Spread half of the cream cheese evenly over the inside of the bottom shell.
Step 3: Roll up turkey slices and arrange them in an even layer on the cream cheese.
Step 4: Lay spinach leaves over the turkey.
Step 5: Put a layer of red pepper strips over the spinach leaves.
Step 6: Put a layer of artichoke hearts over the red pepper strips.
Step 7: Spread remaining cream cheese over the inside of the top shell.
Step 8: Place the top shell over the bottom shell to reform the loaf. Wrap the loaf tightly with aluminum foil or plastic wrap.
Step 9: Chill for several hours or overnight.
Step 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.
