Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Shred or slice the cooked turkey breast into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.
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.
Gradually whisk in the chicken or turkey stock, ensuring no lumps form, followed by the whole milk.
Continue cooking and stirring the mixture for 3-4 minutes until it thickens into a gravy-like consistency.
Stir in the salt and black pepper to season the gravy. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Add the shredded turkey to the gravy and stir gently until the turkey is warmed through, about 2-3 minutes.
Lay the toasted bread slices on serving plates. Spoon the turkey and gravy mixture generously over each slice of toast.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately while hot.
