For another great meal idea, reserve the leftover turkey and gravy to use in Rachael's Turkey Club Enchilada Casserole.

Provided by Rachael Ray : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 26

1 stick softened butter
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh herbs, such as thyme, sage and parsley
2 boneless turkey breasts (2 1/2 to 3 pounds each)
2 large fresh bay leaves
Olive oil spray
Kosher salt and coarse black pepper
8 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup fresh herbs, such as thyme, sage and parsley, finely chopped
3 to 4 ribs celery with leafy tops, chopped
2 small apples, chopped
2 small to medium yellow onions, chopped
1 bay leaf
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 cups stuffing cubes, such as Pepperidge Farms
3 to 4 cups chicken stock
4 tablespoons butter
Coarse black pepper
3 tablespoons flour
3 cups turkey or chicken stock
About 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 egg yolk
1 round tablespoon Dijon mustard, optional
Salt
A couple cups stock, to reheat sliced turkey
Sliced good quality white or wheat bread
Chopped fresh parsley, garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • For the turkey breasts:
  • Arrange a wire rack over a baking sheet. Combine the butter with the herbs. Loosen the skin on the turkey breasts and place the butter between the skin and breast meat, working out to the edges evenly. Place a bay leaf between the skin and meat. Spray the skin with olive oil, and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Roast to 165 degrees internal temperature, about 1 hour. Remove and cover loosely with foil to cool back to room temp, reserving the drippings for the gravy. Then cover and store for a make-ahead meal, as well as another night's meal, such as the Turkey Club Enchilada Casserole.
  • For the stuffing:
  • Melt 6 tablespoons butter in large skillet over medium heat. Grease a casserole dish with 1 tablespoon of remaining butter, and reserve the rest to dot the top of the stuffing once it is in its casserole dish. To the melted butter, add the herbs, celery, apples, onions, bay leaf and some salt and pepper. Cook to tender, 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the stuffing cubes and moisten with the stock until damp, but not wet. Fill the casserole dish and dot the top with butter. Cover and refrigerate to store.
  • For the gravy:
  • Melt the butter in a large skillet and season liberally with black pepper. Whisk in the flour until light golden in color. Then whisk in the stock and Worcestershire and simmer at low boil to thicken. Add any pan drippings from the roasted turkey breasts. Once the gravy lightly coats the back of a spoon, add a ladle of it to the egg yolk while beating with fork. Then add the yolk back to gravy to gloss it up, stir in. Add the mustard, if using. Add salt to taste. Cool and store.
  • To serve:
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the rack in center of oven.
  • Bring the stuffing to room temp, then bake until crispy on top and hot through.
  • Reheat the gravy over medium heat, partially covered and stirring occasionally.
  • While the stuffing is in the oven and the gravy is reheating, heat up an additional couple cups of plain stock in a high-sided skillet. Thinly slice 1 turkey breast, removing the bay leaf when you get to it.
  • For each sandwich, very lightly toast a slice of bread and place on a dinner plate. Top the bread with a scoop of stuffing (I use an ice cream scoop). Set a few slices of turkey into broth to heat through. Arrange the turkey slices over the mound of stuffing. Liberally ladle the gravy over the top of the sandwich and garnish with chopped parsley. Save any leftover gravy for another meal, such as the Turkey Club Enchilada Casserole later in the week.

HOT TURKEY SANDWICHES (FOR LEFTOVER TURKEY)



Hot Turkey Sandwiches (For Leftover Turkey) image

This uses left-over chopped turkey. We grew up calling these "turkey burgers"- but that was before ground turkey, so I'm calling them "turkey sandwiches" to avoid any confusion. WE LOVE THESE. They were a favorite with my family when I was growing up, and now they are a favorite with my hubby and kids. Something nice and different. The melted cheese and mayo together are just heavenly. I like my cheese cut up in fairly large cubes, not diced. Adjust the onion to your taste. We look forward to thanksgiving left-overs just for this! FOR OAMC: leave out the mayo and freeze remaining ingredients (expect buttered buns) in an airtight bag with all of the air removed. Let thaw in fridge before adding mayo.

HOT AND CREAMY TURKEY SANDWICHES



Hot and Creamy Turkey Sandwiches image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 pound white mushrooms, thinly sliced
4 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup whole milk, heated
1 cup chicken broth, heated
1/4 cup grated sharp cheddar
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
1 teaspoon minced fresh sage
1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
8 slices toasted country bread
8 ounces thinly sliced turkey
6 slices crumbled cooked bacon slices
Chopped fresh chives, for garnish

Steps:

  • Cook the mushrooms in a large skillet in the butter over moderately low heat, stirring until most of the liquid the mushrooms give off is evaporated. Add the flour and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. Add the liquids in a stream, whisking and bring the mixture to a boil. Simmer for 3 minutes and stir in the 2 cheeses, the herbs, and salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Preheat the broiler.
  • Arrange the bread slices in one layer on a sheet pan. Divide the turkey slices evenly on top and spoon some of the sauce over each toast. Broil the slices for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden and top each toast with some of the bacon and some of the chives.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Start with a good quality turkey, flavorful bread, and fresh vegetables. This will make a big difference in the taste of your sandwich.
  • Don't overcook the turkey: Overcooked turkey is dry and tough. Cook it just until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Use a variety of toppings: Don't be afraid to get creative with your toppings. Try different types of cheese, sauces, and vegetables to find your favorite combination.
  • Toast the bread: Toasting the bread will help it hold up better to the hot turkey and gravy. It will also add a nice flavor.
  • Serve the sandwiches hot: Hot turkey sandwiches are best served hot. If you're making them ahead of time, reheat them in the oven or microwave before serving.

Conclusion:

Hot turkey sandwiches are a delicious and easy meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a quick lunch or dinner, and they can also be served as a party appetizer.
