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.

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!

OPEN FACED TURKEY STUFFING PATTY WITH GRAVY AND CRANBERRY SAUCE



Open Faced Turkey Stuffing Patty with Gravy and Cranberry Sauce image

Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

4 slices bacon
2 cups Old Fashioned Turkey Stuffing, recipe follows
Canola oil, if needed
12 fresh sage leaves
8 ounces leftover turkey meat
1 cup leftover turkey gravy, heated through
1/2 cup Simple Cranberry Sauce, recipe follows
1 stick unsalted butter, melted, plus more for greasing
3 large loaves white bread, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
Oil, for cooking
4 celery stalks, finely chopped
2 medium yellow onions, finely chopped
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth, or turkey stock made from giblets
2 tablespoons poultry seasoning
2 large eggs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Two 14-ounce cans cranberry sauce
1 cup orange juice
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
Pinch ground cinnamon
Pinch kosher salt

Steps:

  • Cook the bacon in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until extra crispy, about 10 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper-towel-lined-plate to drain and reserve the fat in the skillet.
  • Meanwhile pack a 1 cup dry measure tightly with a 1/2 cup of the Old Fashioned Turkey Stuffing. Dump the stuffing onto a baking sheet and press down into a 4-inch-wide-cake, using a flat spatula. Repeat until you have 4 patties.
  • Heat the reserved bacon fat in the skillet over medium heat. Carefully lay 2 patties in the skillet and cook until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes each side. Transfer the patties to a plate and repeat with the remaining 2 patties.
  • Add oil to the skillet if needed. Add the sage and fry, about 30 seconds. Transfer the sage to a paper-towel-lined-plate using a slotted spoon.
  • Divide the turkey meat onto each patty and pour gravy over top. Crumble 1 crispy bacon slice over the turkey. Dollop with the Simple Cranberry Sauce and garnish with the sage.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease two 14-by-9-inch baking dishes. Arrange the bread cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake until lightly browned, about 8 minutes.
  • Heat some oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter, celery and onions and cook until the vegetables are lightly browned and translucent. Set aside to cool.
  • Add the bread cubes, celery mixture, broth, seasoning and eggs in a large bowl. Mix well until moist and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Divide between the 2 prepared baking dishes. Bake until the top of the stuffing is slightly crispy, about 40 minutes.
  • Add the cranberry sauce, orange juice, ginger, cinnamon and salt into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cook, uncovered, stirring often to incorporate flavors, about 15 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and cool.
