Ingredients
- 1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped onion shopping list
- 1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter shopping list
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour shopping list
- 1 1/2 cups milk shopping list
- a pinch of cayenne shopping list
- 1 tablespoon dry sherry shopping list
- 3/4 cup grated extra-sharp Cheddar shopping list
- 4 slices of homemade-type white bread, toasted lightly shopping list
- 1/2 pound cooked turkey breast, sliced thin shopping list
- 4 thin slices of tomato shopping list
- 8 slices of cooked bacon shopping list
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan shopping list
How to make it
- In a small saucepan cook the onion in the butter over moderately low heat, stirring, until it is softened, stir in the flour, and cook the roux, stirring, for 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and add the milk, scalded, in a stream, whisking vigorously until the mixture is thick and smooth. Add the cayenne and salt and pepper to taste and simmer the sauce, stirring occasionally, for 10 to 15 minutes, or until it is thickened to the desired consistency. Strain the sauce through the fine sieve into a bowl and add the Sherry and Cheddar, stirring until the mixture is smooth.
- Arrange the toasts in a baking pan and divide the turkey among them. Top each sandwich with a tomato slice and 2 slices of the bacon and spoon the sauce evenly over the sandwiches. Sprinkle the sandwiches with the Parmesan and broil them under a preheated broiler about 4 inches from the heat for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the tops are brown and bubbly.

I've always wanted to make these. I am going to have to give it a try one of these days. Thanksgiving's coming up and leftover turkey I'll bet would be delicious! Thanks. - Natalie
