1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese

1 tablespoon dry sherry

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper

1/8 teaspoon onion powder

1 (2-ounce) jar diced pimento, drained

6 (2-ounce) slices Texas toast, lightly toasted

12 ounces thinly sliced cooked turkey breast

12 (1/4-inch-thick) slices tomato (about 2 tomatoes)

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

I am a Louisville native and attempted this lighter version for a taste of home. While it turned out fine, it is nothing like what a true Hot Brown is supposed to be. The cheese sauce detracts from the dish.
