Recipes Meat and Poultry Turkey Original Hot Brown 4.6 (62) 49 Reviews 17 Photos A hot brown sandwich is a broiled, open-face turkey, bacon, tomato, and cheese sandwich. The recipe originally came from the Brown Hotel in Louisville, KY. I have altered it based on how I have had it served in restaurants in Louisville. This is a good way to use leftover turkey from Thanksgiving, and my husband looks forward to it every year.

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings Sauce: ½ cup butter ½ cup all-purpose flour 3 cups milk 6 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese 1 egg, beaten 2 tablespoons heavy cream Sandwiches: 8 slices white bread, toasted 2 pounds sliced roasted turkey 1 tomato, thinly sliced salt and pepper to taste ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese 8 slices crispy bacon Directions Make sauce: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour; cook and stir until it begins to brown slightly. Gradually whisk in milk so that no lumps form; bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Mix in Parmesan cheese and stir in beaten egg to thicken; remove from heat and stir in cream. Preheat the oven's broiler. Make sandwiches: For each hot brown, place two slices toast into the bottom of an individual-sized casserole dish. Cover with a liberal amount of roasted turkey and tomato slices. Season with salt and pepper; spoon sauce over top of each one and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Place the dishes under the preheated broiler and cook until speckled brown on top, about 5 minutes. Remove and arrange two slices bacon in a cross shape on top of each sandwich. I Made It Print 111 home cooks made it!
