Armstrongs Turkey Devonshire Sandwich Recipes

Steps:

• NOTE:.
• Enough turkey to cover the bread (we used deli turkey, sliced 1/4-inch thick)
• Toast bread.
• Heat turkey and bacon in the microwave.
• White Sauce:.
• In a small, stainless steel sauce pan, melt butter or margarine over low heat.
• Whisk in flour.
• Add milk all at once.
• Increase heat to medium and continue whisking.
• Heat until mixture is bubbling.
• Cook one minute longer, whisking continuously.
• Whisk in cheese. Stir until melted.
• Add pepper to taste.
• Preparing the sauce ahead of time is not recommended.
• Plating:.
• Prepare four serving dishes by placing a potato and a serving of broccoli, or your choice of sides, on each.
• Place one piece of toast on each plate.
• Top with two slices bacon, then cover with turkey.
• Pour equal portions of sauce over each. Serve any extra sauce on the side.
• Variation:
• Place in four small casserole dishes, prepare the Devonshire as above.
• Place under the broiler for two minutes or until the sauce is browned on top.
• Serve the sides on separate small plates.
• Warn your guests these dishes are HOT!
• Hints: Using precooked turkey and bacon saves time.
• Shred cheese or buy shredded.
• Turkey can be cooked in the microwave, leftover, or bought in the deli.
• If you choose deli turkey, be sure to get it cut about 1/4-inch thick.
• If pre-packaged, use at least three slices per serving.
• Bacon can be microwaved or fried.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees (230 degrees C).
• Pat turkey breast with a paper towel to remove any excess liquid and place into a baking dish just big enough to fit it. Use the tip of a sharp small knife to poke the skin of the turkey breast all over. Drizzle over olive oil and use tongs to rub; flip turkey breast over a few times, or until all surfaces are coated with the oil. You can also use a brush. Set aside for 15 to 20 minutes.
• While turkey rests, mix salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary, oregano, and paprika together in a small bowl until thoroughly combined.
• Use tongs to grab the turkey breast with one hand while using your other hand to sprinkle the spice rub evenly over the entire surface, including the sides. Finish with the skin side facing up.
• Add about 1/2 inch of water to the bottom of the baking dish.
• Place prepared turkey breast into the center of the oven. Immediately lower the heat to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Roast until a probe thermometer stuck into center of the thickest part of the breast reads 150 degrees F (65 degrees C), about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
• Let cool before wrapping. Chill thoroughly in the refrigerator, about 8 hours, or overnight. Once meat is cold, slice thinly and serve.

Steps:

• In a saucepan, heat butter; add flour, cooking and stirring a few minutes before whisking in milk.
• Add bouillon cube and cheese and cook, stirring often, over low heat for 5 minutes.
• Stir in food coloring (2 to 3 drops), if needed.
• Cool sauce completely; if possible, refrigerate for several hours.
• To make sandwiches:
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Trim crusts off toast. Arrange 4 slices of the lightly toasted white bread on individual baking plates.
• Place 2 to 3 pieces of bacon on each piece of toast, then 2 to 2-1/2 slices turkey breast and tomato slices.
• Mold cold sauce over sandwiches, to cover. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, dust lightly with paprika.
• Bake in hot preheated oven until bubbling and lightly browned.
• Sandwiches can be run under broiler for additional browning.
