Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 slices bread any kind
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1⅓ cups gravy leftover, canned, or homemade gravy *see notes
- 10 ounces leftover turkey or sliced deli turkey
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan or 10-inch skillet, heat the gravy to a simmer over medium-high heat.
- Add the turkey slices and stir into the gravy. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the turkey is heated through, 3-5 minutes.
- Toast bread, spread with butter. Top with turkey slices and extra gravy.
Notes
If you need extra gravy, in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat, cook 2 tablespoons butter with 2 tablespoons flour and ¼ teaspoon of poultry seasoning until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Gradually whisk in 1 ½ to 2 cups of turkey or chicken broth, whisking after each addition.
Consistency: If your gravy is too thick, add water or chicken/turkey broth a little bit at a time to reach the desired consistency. If it's too thin, whisk 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water, drizzle into simmering gravy until thickened—you may not need all of it.
Mushrooms: Sauteed mushrooms or canned mushrooms (drained) great additions to the gravy.
If desired, replace the bread with leftover mashed potato patties. Combine 2 cups leftover mashed potatoes and 2 eggs. Form into 4 patties and fry in butter or olive oil until crisp on each side.
