Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked turkey breast
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken or turkey stock
- 0.5 cups whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 4 pieces toasted bread slices
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Shred or slice the cooked turkey breast into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.
Step 3
Once the butter has melted, whisk in the all-purpose flour, stirring constantly for about 1-2 minutes, until it forms a smooth paste and starts to lightly bubble. Do not let it brown.
Step 4
Gradually whisk in the chicken or turkey stock, ensuring no lumps form, followed by the whole milk.
Step 5
Continue cooking and stirring the mixture for 3-4 minutes until it thickens into a gravy-like consistency.
Step 6
Stir in the salt and black pepper to season the gravy. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Step 7
Add the shredded turkey to the gravy and stir gently until the turkey is warmed through, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 8
Lay the toasted bread slices on serving plates. Spoon the turkey and gravy mixture generously over each slice of toast.
Step 9
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately while hot.
