How to make it
- To make cream sauce: melt 3/4 stick butter in deep pan and add flour, stirring constantly. Add chicken broth and then hot milk and salt, for 20 minutes, still stirring. Cool to lukewarm. Beat with whisk until smooth before using. Makes enough for 6 sandwiches.
- Preheat oven to 450. Using flat, individual ovenproof casserole dishes, place slice of toast and top with bacon. Add slices of cooked turkey. Cover completely with cream sauce. Drizzle with a little melted butter. Mix Parmesan andpaprika and sprinkle over tops. Bake 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
- If you don't have the types of individual dishes the recipe calls for, do them in a 9" x 13" casserole dish. Works just fine, tastes just as great!
- NOTE: To make this gluten-free, use cornstarch measure-for-measure in place of flour and use gf toast. Enjoy!

Reminds me of a Kentucky hot brown...you get my high five. Doesn't Pittsburgh have the Primante sandwich with the fries stuffed inside, or am I thinking of another city?
