Ok...so everyone has a fridge full of leftovers. What are your favorite ways of using them?
My absolutely favorite way of using up leftover turkey is to make Kentucky Hot Brown sandwiches. They are delicious!
Kentucky Hot Browns Recipe
8 thick white bread slices
1 lb. roasted turkey slices
Cheese Sauce (see below)
1 C. shredded Parmesan cheese
1 lb bacon cooked and crumbled
2 large tomatoes diced
Place bread on a baking sheet, and broil 3 inches from heat until toasted, turning once.
Arrange 2 bread slices in each of 4 lightly greased individual baking dishes. Top bread evenly with turkey. Pour hot Cheese Sauce evenly over turkey, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Broil 6 inches from heat 4 minutes or until bubbly and lightly browned; remove from oven. Top evenly with bacon and tomato. Serve immediately.
Note: A lightly greased 15- x 10-inch jellyroll pan may be substituted for individual baking dishes. Arrange bread slices evenly in bottom of pan. Top evenly with turkey and Cheese Sauce; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Proceed with recipe as directed.
Cheese Sauce:
Makes about 4 cups
1/2 C. butter or margarine
1/3 C. all-purpose flour
3 1/2 C. milk
1/2 C. shredded Parmesan cheese
1/4 t. salt
1/4 t. pepper
Melt butter in a 3-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Whisk in flour, and cook, whisking constantly, 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk. Bring to a boil, and cook, whisking constantly, 1 to 2 minutes or until thickened. Whisk in cheese, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat. Serves 4.
