Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 8 ounces fresh white button mushrooms, wiped clean, stemmed, and thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped yellow onion
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped celery
  • 2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon Essence, recipe follows
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 10 to 12 ounces thinly sliced roast turkey breast
  • 4 slices home-style white bread, toasted, optional

Directions

To make the gravy, heat a small saucepan over medium-high heat and melt the butter. Add the mushrooms, thyme, salt and pepper and saute, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are soft, have released their liquid, and are golden, about 3 minutes. Add the flour and stir well to blend. Cook, stirring frequently, until the flour begins to brown, about 6 minutes. Add the onion and celery and saute until soft, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the chicken broth, Essence, and salt, to taste. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer until the mixture thickens and the floury taste is gone, about 20 minutes.

To assemble the sandwiches, spread about 1 1/2 teaspoons of the mayonnaise on each slice of bread. Arrange equal amounts of the turkey on top. Ladle equal amounts of the mushroom gravy (almost 1/2 cup each) over each open-faced sandwich. Serve immediately.

Emeril's ESSENCE Creole Seasoning (also referred to as Bayou Blast):

  • 2 tablespoons salt
  • 2 tablespoons garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon dried thyme

Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

Yield: 2/3 cup

    As a vegetarian, I skip the turkey sandwich and just eat the gravy over mashed potatoes at Thanksgiving or over rice. I use vegetable instead of chicken broth, and skip the Essence to save time. This is the best vegetarian gravy recipe I've found, I love it!

    I have not made the sandwich but have made the mushroom gravy twice and it is the best ever. I used criminis instead of the white buttons simply because they have more flavor and I served them with a standing rib beef roast for Christmas dinner. I cannot say enough good about this recipe. Even the guests who don't care for mushrooms loved this gravy.
