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!
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.
