Provided by Emily Bites

Categories     Main Course     Sandwich

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons light butter ((I use LandO'Lakes light butter with canola oil in the tub))
3 tablespoons flour
1 ½ cups reduced sodium chicken broth
¾ teaspoon Better Than Bouillon Chicken or Turkey base
½ teaspoon Gravy Master seasoning & browning sauce (or Kitchen Bouquet)
1 lb sliced deli turkey breast ((I used Wegmans deli 98% fat free turkey breast))
4 slices soft wheat bread ((I used Wegmans Soft 100% Whole Wheat Bread))

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. When the butter is melted, whisk in the flour a little at a time. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the broth a little bit at a time, whisking it into the flour mixture until smooth and well combined. Add the bouillon paste and Gravy Master. Whisk regularly until the gravy comes to a boil and thickens. Remove from heat and allow to sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
  • While the gravy is thickening, separate the deli turkey slices onto a plate and microwave them on high for 30-60 seconds until warm.
  • To build each sandwich, place a slice of bread on a plate and top with 4 ounces of warm sliced turkey. Pour 1/3 cup of warm gravy over the top and serve.

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.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

2 pounds new potatoes or baby Yukon gold potatoes
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons butter
3 strips par cooked bacon, crisped in microwave and chopped (recommended: Ready Crisp)
Salt and pepper
1 cup store bought apple sauce
1 (14 ounce) can whole berry cranberry sauce
2 slices whole grain bread
Butter
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the pan
1 pound maple sausage, bulk or removed from large link casing
1 medium onion, chopped
2 celery ribs, chopped
2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
Salt and pepper
1 cup chicken stock or turkey broth
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken stock or turkey broth
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
Salt
A few grinds black pepper
1 1/2 to 2 pounds turkey breast meat: roasted turkey breast or thick-cut deli turkey
4 slices whole grain bread
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley or chopped chives, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat a medium skillet over medium high heat.
  • Place potatoes in a medium pot. Cut larger potatoes in half. Leave smaller baby potatoes whole. Cover potatoes with water and top with a lid. Place over high heat. When the water boils, salt water and cook potatoes with the lid off pot for 10 to 11 minutes, until tender.
  • Place a second low pot on the stove top over medium-high heat. Add apple sauce and canned cranberry sauce. Stir to combine and gently heat through, about 10 minutes.
  • Toast 2 slices whole grain bread and butter heavily, 1/2 tablespoon per slice. Chop into small cubes and reserve.
  • Add extra-virgin olive oil and sausage meat to hot skillet. Brown and crumble the sausage with a wooden spoon or heat safe spatula. Add onions and celery to the skillet then season with poultry seasoning and salt and pepper and cook 5 minutes. Add bread to the skillet and stir to combine. Dampen the stuffing with chicken stock and turn to combine. Turn off heat and cover pan loosely with foil to hold heat.
  • Preheat a second skillet over medium heat to prepare turkey and gravy.
  • Drain cooked potatoes and return to hot pot. Smash with sour cream, butter and crisped, chopped bacon. Season the smashed potatoes with salt and pepper. If they are too thick, thin them out with milk or a splash of broth.
  • Add 2 tablespoons butter to preheated skillet and melt it. Whisk in flour and cook 1 minute. Whisk in 2 cups stock or broth. Add the poultry seasoning, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper to the gravy. Allow it to thicken slightly.
  • Cut roasted turkey meat away from the breast bones of rotisserie turkey breast. If you are using deli turkey, remove from packaging and separate slices. Set turkey into gravy.
  • Place a bread slice on dinner plate. Use a large ice cream scoop to place a mound of stuffing on the bread. Place turkey on top of stuffing. Serve smashed potatoes and cranberries on the side. Spoon the extra gravy over potatoes and turkey sandwiches. Sprinkle the plates with chopped parsley or chives and serve.

GRAVY FOR SANDWICHES

Steps:

  • 1. Making Gravy: Melt butter in a large sauce pan and saute the diced onion till they're clear. Add flour and mix till it forms a thick paste.

Tips:

  • Choose the right turkey: For the best flavor and texture, use a fresh or thawed turkey that has been brined or injected with a flavorful solution.
  • Cook the turkey properly: Roast the turkey according to the package directions or use a reliable recipe. Make sure the turkey is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) as measured by a meat thermometer.
  • Make a flavorful gravy: Use the pan drippings from the turkey to make a rich and flavorful gravy. You can also add other ingredients like vegetables, herbs, and spices to enhance the flavor.
  • Choose the right bread: For the best sandwiches, use a sturdy bread that can hold up to the turkey and gravy. Some good options include sourdough, French bread, or ciabatta.
