Open Faced Roast Turkey Sandwiches [1]

Open Faced Roast Turkey Sandwiches

The perfect solution for any leftover roast turkey after the holidays. The sauteed mushrooms and quick homemade gravy put this sandwich over the top!

  • Yield: 4 open-faced sandwiches and 1 3/4 cups gravy
[2]

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped yellow onion
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped celery
  • 2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon Baby Bam [3]
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 8 to 10 ounces thinly sliced roast turkey breast
  • 4 slices home-style white bread
  • SAUTEED MUSHROOMS:
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 8 ounces fresh white button mushrooms, wiped clean, stemmed, and thinly sliced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Pinch of ground black pepper

Directions

  • To make the gravy, heat a small saucepan over medium-high heat and melt the butter. Whisk in the flour to blend. With a wooden spoon, stir constantly until the mixture is the color of peanut butter, about 7 minutes. This is called making a roux.

  • Add the onion and celery and saute until soft, about 2 minutes.

  • Whisk in the chicken broth, Baby Bam, and salt. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer until the mixture thickens and the floury taste is gone, about 20 minutes.

  • To assemble the sandwiches, spread about 1 1/2 teaspoons of the mayonnaise on each slice of bread. Arrange equal amounts of the turkey on top of each slice of bread. Ladle equal amounts of the gravy (almost 1/2 cup each) over each open-faced sandwich. Serve immediately, topped with sauteed mushrooms if you like.

  • SAUTEED MUSHROOMS: In a medium skillet over high heat, melt the butter. Add the mushrooms, salt, and pepper, and saute, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are soft, have released their liquid, and are golden, about 3 minutes.

  • Divide the Sauteed mushrooms evenly over the gravy among the tops of the sandwiches and serve.
