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.

OPEN-FACED HOT TURKEY SANDWICHES



Open-Faced Hot Turkey Sandwiches image

Sometimes life requires an open-faced turkey sandwich with gravy and mashed potatoes, alongside a glop of cranberry sauce. It is neither a Thanksgiving meal nor a Christmas one, but simply a low-fi American reminder of diners and TV dinners and blankets and comfort itself: soft meat and rich, salty gravy over tight-crumbed bread, with buttery mash and a tang of cranberry. My recipe calls for roasting buttered turkey thighs in the oven while the potatoes were cooking, skin-side down to crisp the skin and allow the fat to render into the pan, creating sticky bits of fond you'll use to build a base for gravy. Pile the sliced meat onto lightly toasted bread, drench it with gravy and serve alongside the potatoes and peas. Adding canned cranberry sauce, in this application, is no sin.

Provided by Sam Sifton

Categories     sandwiches, main course

Time 1h15m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 turkey thighs
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 cup dry white wine
2 to 3 cups turkey or chicken stock
4 tablespoons instant flour, or all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cream, milk or half-and-half
2 slices bread of your choosing, traditionally white sandwich bread
Buttered peas, mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • Remove turkey and butter from the refrigerator an hour or so before cooking, so that they are approaching room temperature when the turkey goes into the oven.
  • Heat oven to 400. Rub turkey with butter, using your fingers to slide butter under the skin. Season the turkey with salt, pepper, sage and lemon zest.
  • Place turkey thighs, skin-side down, into a cast-iron skillet or medium-size oven-safe gratin pan, and roast in the oven for 30 minutes. Turn turkey thighs over, add the wine to the pan or skillet and continue roasting for another 30 minutes or so, basting occasionally, until the turkey is cooked through, golden and crisp, and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the turkey's thickest part reads in the neighborhood of 165 degrees. Remove turkey thighs from the pan, and allow to rest on a cutting board while you make the gravy.
  • Heat the stock in a small pot. Drain off all but four tablespoons of the fat in the pan or gratin dish. Place pan or dish over low heat on the stove, and whisk the flour into it to make a roux. Stir the roux for 3 to 4 minutes, and then slowly start to add the stock to it, whisking as you do, until the mixture is smooth. Cook, continuing to stir, until the gravy has thickened, approximately 8 to 10 minutes. Add the cream, milk or half-and-half, stir and allow the gravy to thicken again, 2 to 3 minutes more. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • To make the sandwiches, carve meat and skin from the turkey thighs, and assemble two separate piles. Toast the bread, and lay one slice on each plate. Put a pile of the meat on each piece of toast, spreading it across the surface of the bread. Absolutely drench each sandwich with the gravy, and serve alongside buttered peas, mashed potatoes and a dollop of cranberry sauce. For this application, canned cranberry sauce is, by etiquette, required.

Tips:

  • To make the hot turkey salad, you will need cooked turkey, celery, onion, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper. You can use leftover turkey from a roasted turkey or buy pre-cooked turkey from the deli.
  • For the celery and onion, you will need to finely chop them. You can use a food processor or a sharp knife to do this.
  • When mixing the hot turkey salad, be sure to mix it gently so that you do not break up the turkey. You want the turkey to be in large pieces.
  • If you are using a bread maker to make the bread, be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions. If you are making the bread by hand, you will need to knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
  • When assembling the hot turkey salad sandwiches, be sure to spread the mayonnaise on both slices of bread. This will help to keep the sandwich moist and flavorful.
  • You can serve the hot turkey salad sandwiches immediately or you can wrap them in plastic wrap and store them in the refrigerator for later.

Conclusion:

Hot turkey salad sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover turkey after a holiday meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a hot turkey salad sandwich that is sure to please everyone at the table.
