Open Faced Hot Turkey Sandwich
Description
This sandwich involves heating gravy in a skillet until bubbling, then gently warming turkey slices in the gravy. The bread is toasted separately for added crunch. After optional additional ingredients are added to the bread, the turkey is spooned on, and everything is topped with the warm gravy. The preparation focuses on harmonizing textures—the crisp toast, tender turkey, and smooth gravy.
The sandwich serves well as a quick meal to repurpose leftover turkey or deli meat, and any bread can work according to availability. Toasting adds texture but is optional. Variations with leftover holiday sides can add interest and flavor.
Gravy can be homemade or store-bought, and both brown and white gravies are appropriate. This method offers flexibility to adapt to what you have on hand without sacrificing taste or satisfaction.

Notes
- Leftover or homemade gravy can be used; both brown and white gravies work well.

- Additional leftovers can be warmed and layered on the toast before turkey and gravy to enhance the sandwich.
