Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 medium Yellow onion, sliced
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 8 ounces Cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Chicken or turkey stock
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 12 ounces Cooked turkey breast, thinly sliced
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 4 slices Slices of rustic bread
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter. Once the butter is melted, add the sliced onion and cook for 5-6 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 6-8 minutes until they release their moisture and become golden brown.
Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture, stirring constantly, and cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually pour in the chicken or turkey stock, stirring constantly to prevent lumps, and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Add the thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper. Continue to simmer for 3-5 minutes until the gravy thickens.
Reduce the heat to low and fold in the cooked turkey slices, ensuring they are fully coated in the mushroom gravy. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the turkey is heated through.
Lightly toast the slices of rustic bread, if desired.
To assemble, place a generous portion of the mushroom and turkey mixture onto one slice of bread. Top with fresh parsley, if desired, and close the sandwich with another slice of bread or leave it open-faced for serving.
Serve the sandwiches warm and enjoy!
