Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 ounces Cooked turkey breast
- 2 slices Whole-grain bread
- 1 cup Low-sodium chicken or turkey broth
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Preheat a small saucepan over medium heat. Lightly coat the pan with cooking spray.
2. Pour the low-sodium chicken or turkey broth into the saucepan and bring it to a gentle simmer.
3. While the broth is heating, in a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the cold water until fully dissolved to create a slurry.
4. Gradually whisk the cornstarch mixture into the simmering broth, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Continue to simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until the gravy has thickened.
5. Season the gravy with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste. Remove the saucepan from heat and cover to keep warm.
6. Toast the whole-grain bread slices until golden brown.
7. Warm the cooked turkey breast slices either in the microwave or a non-stick skillet sprayed lightly with cooking spray.
8. Place one slice of toast on each serving plate. Lay half of the warmed turkey breast slices over each slice of toast.
9. Generously ladle the prepared gravy over the turkey and toast.
10. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
