Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices sliced bread (such as sourdough or country loaf)
- 2 cups cooked turkey or chicken
- 1 cup gravy
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly toast the sliced bread in a toaster or on a skillet until golden brown. Set aside.
In a small skillet, heat the butter over medium heat until melted. Add the cooked turkey or chicken, and stir to coat in the butter. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the meat is warmed through.
Lay the toasted bread slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Spoon the warmed turkey or chicken evenly over the bread slices.
Heat the gravy in a small saucepan or in the microwave until hot. Pour the gravy generously over the meat on each slice of bread.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of each sandwich.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the sandwiches from the oven and let cool for 2 minutes before plating.
Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your hot open-faced sandwich!
