Method

Turkey and Bread Assembly

  1. 1

    Prepare the Turkey

    Slice the roasted turkey breast into thick slices. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Toast the Bread

    Toast the thick slices of white bread until golden brown. Place on plates for serving.

Gravy Preparation

  1. 3

    Make the Roux

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add 1 cup of all-purpose flour and whisk continuously for about 2-3 minutes until it turns golden brown.

  2. 4

    Add Stock

    Gradually add 2 cups of turkey or chicken stock, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Continue cooking until the gravy thickens.

  3. 5

    Season the Gravy

    Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper, stirring to combine. Keep warm until serving.

Mashed Potatoes Preparation

  1. 6

    Cook the Potatoes

    In a large pot, add 600 grams of peeled and cubed potatoes and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes or until tender.

  2. 7

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return to the pot. Add 4 tablespoons of butter, 1 cup of milk, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Stuffing Preparation

  1. 8

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 1 cup each of diced celery and diced onion, and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 9

    Combine Stuffing Mix

    In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of stuffing mix and the sautéed vegetables. Pour in 1 cup of chicken or turkey broth and mix until the stuffing is moistened.

  3. 10

    Bake the Stuffing

    Transfer the stuffing mixture to a baking dish and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes until golden and crispy on top.

Serving

  1. 11

    Assemble the Dish

    On each plate, layer the toasted white bread, pile high with sliced roasted turkey, and generously drizzle with the homemade gravy.

  2. 12

    Add Sides

    Serve with a generous scoop of mashed potatoes and a portion of stuffing on the side.
