    Open Faced Turkey Sandwich with Gravy

    This post may contain affiliate links.

    An open-faced turkey sandwich with gravy is a delicious, hearty, comfort food that is a great way to use up your leftover turkey! All you need in bread, turkey, your favorite cheese, and some tasty gravy for this dinner staple.

    Leftovers are one of the best meals. I might even love leftovers more than the original meal.

    It’s less fuss, no one is worried about getting all the food cooked, and you can sit back, watch a show, enjoy delicious food and relax.

    What ingredients do you need?

    Bread- any will do but I like to use a thick brioche or Texas toast if I have it

    Turkey- use up your leftover turkey or use sliced deli turkey meat if you have that

    Cheese- I love using brie for these sandwiches but you can use any cheese of your liking. Provolone, jack, or mozzarella would be tasty but also a gouda would be amazing.

    Gravy- whip up a batch of my homemade gravy without drippings in less than 5 minutes- you will want to pour I on everything!

    Sometimes a hot turkey open faced sandwich is piled high with all the leftovers- including green bean casserole, stuffing, turkey, and cheese.

    Other times it’s simply bread, meat, cheese, and a hearty helping of gravy.

    This time though I wanted to share a little bit fancier version- it includes one of my favorite cheeses: Brie.

    Brie is a delicious cheese when you bake it and slather it in honey or when cut up and placed in a tasty salad along with prosciutto and roasted peppers. It’s also delicious on sandwiches.

    If you don’t have brie don’t worry- a tasty provolone or jack will also work well for this sandwich and is more of a traditional route. But if you have some Brie then get ready to have your tastebuds light up!

    How to make an open-faced turkey sandwich with gravy:

    1. Toast your bread. I like to do this in the oven with it set to broil. Just be careful to watch the bread carefully so it doesn’t burn.
    2. Once toasted assemble your sandwiches with turkey and cheese, then broil again until the cheese is melted.
    3. Then pour warm gravy over both halves and enjoy!

    • melted cheese on sandwich
    • adding gravy to the sandwich

    Don’t want to use the oven for open faced sandwich?

    If you don’t want to use the oven simply toast your bread in a toaster. Then assemble your sandwich, add the gravy and microwave until everything is heated through.

    This might be slightly soggy but still delicious.

    What is the meaning of open-faced sandwich?

    An open sandwich is a piece of pried topped with different foods and usually a sauce.

    What sides go with hot turkey sandwiches?

    Mashed Potatoes, Green Beans, Stuffing, or even a tasty salad!

    How do you eat an open-faced sandwich?

    I like to just use a fork and knife to ean an open-faced sandwich.
