Kentucky Style Hot Brown
The Brown Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky is a 5 star establishment with a 7 star reputation for really incredible dishes. This is a traditional Kentucky turkey sandwich whose name is a nod to that fine establishment.
Ingredients
Method
- Toast the bread. Arrange 2 slices of toast on each of 6 ovenproof plates. For an authentic flair, diagonally cut the toast slices into halves.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Blend in the flour, stirring until smooth. Stir in the salt and pepper. Gradually add the broth and milk.
- Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until smooth and thickened. Add the grated cheese; simmer for about 8 minutes. The sauce will be quite thick.
- Top each slice of toast with turkey slices, cover with sauce, then sprinkle with a little paprika. Top each with a slice of tomato and a slice of cooked bacon.
- Bake at 400°F for 10 minutes or until the sauce is bubbly.

Notes
You’ll need 6 oven-proof plates. I think the beef bacon has a much richer flavor, but you can also use turkey bacon for an all-turkey Hot Brown. Next time you have chicken or turkey, follow the Tasty Turkey Broth recipe to make a fabulous and rich broth that will keep for a good long while. High in selenium.
