Provided by Star @ the skinny-ish dish

Categories     Main Course

Number Of Ingredients 9

16 ounces French or Italian loaf of bread
1 lb good quality deli turkey breast or leftover turkey breast
salt and pepper, to taste
cooking spray (I prefer to use avocado oil cooking spray )
1/2 diced yellow onion
3 tbsp light butter
3 tbsp flour
2½ cups water
2 tsp chicken or vegetable stock concentrate (such as better than bouillon *see notes)

Steps:

  • Prepare the gravy by adding light butter and diced onions to a hot skillet. Cook over medium heat together until the onions are softened (about 3-4 minutes). Stir flour in and continue cooking for about 1 minutes or until the flour is golden. Slowly whisk in water followed by stock concentrate. Bring to boil and cook until thickened (about 2-3 minutes).
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Slice the loaf of bread in half lengthwise and then into 3 even sections. Open it and lay it on a sheet pan for 6 "open faced faced sandwiches". Then, spray with a little cooking spray and sprinkle it with salt and pepper. Then add about 2.5 ounces of turkey to each slice of bread. Place into oven and cook for about 6-8 minutes or until turkey is warm and bread is lightly toasted.*You can also toss the turkey into the gravy before adding to the bread and then top with remaining gravy after its out of the oven. Both ways are tasty!
  • Top with gravy and serve warm. Enjoy!
