Hot Turkey Sandwich
Description
This Hot Turkey Sandwich starts by heating turkey slices gently in savory gravy until thoroughly warmed. The gravy may be leftover, canned, or homemade, providing moisture and flavor. Toasted bread spread with butter creates a crisp base that contrasts with the tender turkey and smooth, warming gravy.
The sandwich combines textures—the light crunch from toasted bread and softness from turkey and gravy. Heating the turkey in gravy avoids dryness and melds flavors. Gravy can be seasoned further with poultry seasoning and thickened with roux or cornstarch to achieve preferred consistency.
Optional additions include sautéed mushrooms stirred into the gravy or substituting bread with fried mashed potato patties made from leftover mashed potatoes and eggs for a variation with a crispy exterior and creamy interior.
The sandwich is practical for using leftovers and provides a warm, satisfying meal. Preparing extra gravy allows for moist servings, and adjusting gravy thickness ensures a balance suitable for pouring without soggy bread.
Ingredients
- 4 lices bread any kind
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1⅓ cups gravy leftover, canned, or homemade gravy *see notes
- 10 ounces turkey or sliced deli turkey, leftover
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan or 10-inch skillet, heat the gravy to a simmer over medium-high heat.
- Add the turkey slices and stir into the gravy. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the turkey is heated through, 3-5 minutes.
- Toast bread, spread with butter. Top with turkey slices and extra gravy.
Notes
- Make extra gravy by cooking butter, flour, and poultry seasoning to a golden brown, then whisking in broth gradually.
- Adjust gravy thickness by adding water or broth if too thick, or cornstarch mixture if too thin.
- Sautéed or canned mushrooms add flavor and texture to the gravy.
- Replace bread with mashed potato patties made from leftover mashed potatoes and eggs for a crisp alternative base.
