Down south, a Kentucky Hot Brown is a traditional recipe for a hot turkey sandwich. It can be served as an entrée or a sandwich. If I'm making a sandwich, I like to roll it up in a large Romaine leaf instead of using gluten-free bread, but the choice is yours. It's delicious any time of year, but remember it's also a great way to use up your turkey leftovers after Thanksgiving.
- 8 slices of bacon
- 1 tablespoon grass-fed butter
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup water
- 1½ cups grated cheddar cheese
- few drops Tabasco sauce (optional – to taste)
- 1 tablespoon Thick it Up
- 4 large Romaine lettuce leaves (if making sandwich version)
- 4 slices of turkey breast, medium thick
- 4 slices of tomato
- Cook the bacon until crisp. Set aside.
- Preheat the broiler.
- To make the sauce, melt butter in a saucepan. Add the cream and water and stir over medium high heat to combine.
- Add the shredded cheddar cheese and Tabasco sauce and continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the cheese is melted and well blended.
- Add the Thick it Up 1 teaspoon at a time, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.
- Place the sliced turkey in a baking pan.
- Pour the cheese sauce over the turkey and place a tomato slice in the center of each turkey slice.
- Put a piece of bacon on either side of the tomato.
- Place under the broiler until the cheese starts to bubble and begin to turn slightly brown.
- Transfer the Hot Brown to dinner plates (if you are serving it as an entree) or to large Romaine lettuce leaves (if you are serving it serving as a sandwich).
