Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked turkey (sliced or shredded)
- 4 slices Thick white or whole wheat bread
- 1.5 cups Turkey or chicken gravy
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, chopped for garnish)
Instructions
Place a medium saucepan over medium heat and add the turkey or chicken gravy.
Heat the gravy, stirring occasionally, until warm and smooth (about 3–5 minutes). If the gravy is too thick, you can add a splash of water or broth to reach your desired consistency.
Add the cooked turkey slices or shreds to the gravy and stir until the turkey is fully coated and warmed through (2–3 minutes). Season with salt and black pepper to taste, then reduce heat to low to keep warm.
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt.
Place the bread slices on the buttered skillet and toast until golden brown and slightly crispy on one side (about 1–2 minutes). Flip the slices and repeat on the other side.
To assemble the sandwiches, place one slice of toasted bread on each plate. Spoon a generous amount of turkey and gravy mixture over the bread.
Top each sandwich with another slice of toasted bread, or leave it open-faced, if desired.
Garnish with chopped parsley (optional) and serve immediately.
