Sandwiches are not my thing and as for Arkadi he said he used to eat deli sandwiches for breakfast! But two things we agree on when it comes to sandwiches are these: we both like hot sandwiches and we both like gravy! So, combine those two likes along with some left over turkey and we have: open faced hot turkey sandwich smothered with turkey and bacon gravy! It was true winter comfort food and a good use for left over roasted turkey too!
So here’s the recipe for you:

This looks so good! Kind of like a Kentucky Hot Brown! Love that you added rosemary and sage. They are my 2 favorite herbs this time of year.
