Don't go by what so-called experts say. Try all three and whichever one you like, drink.
Cheers.
OBTW that's the first time I ever heard of a "hot" turkey club sandwich. Sounds good.

I don't know about the experts, but I would pick pinot of course. that is my favorite wine with all things related to turkey and thanksgiving. It is not too over powering and complements the turkey. second would be the merlot an then the zin. I usually have zin with bbq stuff. It is a rather strong bold wine and could over power the club sandwich.
As far as a name of a pinot. I like Saintsbury Pinot Noir and Cambria Julia's Vineyard Pinot Noir.

I would suggest a Charles Shaw (Two Buck Chuck) Pinot Noir or Merlot. Unlike the others, I feel that a Zinfandel has too strong a body and will totally overpower the sandwich. The Pinot Noir should be served at cellar temperature (NOT chilled) and would compliment the turkey nicely. Sounds like a killer sandwich!

I don't know why I cannot thumbs up someone's answer...
So I very much agree with the Red Zinfandel answer. It has a bit of zest to it that would compliment the hot turkey club perfectly! It depends on taste though. If you are not an experienced wine drinker it may be a bit too much. The fall back safety would be a pinot, and even safer a simple chardonnay.

I would choose the Merlot first, Pinot Noir second, and Zinfandel third. You might also consider a very nice Sangeovese as an alternative.

The Red Zinfandel would probably go best. Merlot and Pinot Noir are heavy wines, and usually go best with a red meat, or a rich type of meal. The Zinfandel would give you a good balance against the turkey because it is slightly on sweeter and light side of red wines. However, it's always a personal taste issue. I'll drink a good Cabernet with any kind of food.

Out of the 3 the Pinot would go best with the turkey.
Actually a Beaujolais Noveau would be best and then an oaky Chardonnay

Pinot Noir slightly chilled to bring out the fruity taste.
