Description

Ingredients

• 4 slices of bacon
• 1 French Baguette
• 1½ cups chopped roast turkey
• ¼ cup finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes (oil packed, drained)
• 2 tbs butter
• 2 tbs flour
• 1½ cups milk
• bag of Sargento Savory Garlic & Herb Jack Snack Bites
• sliced scallions for garnish

Directions

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• Chop the bacon into 1 inch wide slices. Place in hot skillet over med-high heat, and render the fat. Remove from burner, and scoop out bacon. Drain bacon bits on paper towel and reserve the rendered fat.
• Slice the baguette into slices about ⅓ inch wide. Arrange on a baking sheet, then lightly baste one side with bacon fat. Flip that side down.
• Mix together chopped turkey and sun-dried tomatoes. Arrange on tops of bread slices. No need to be fussy, just try and get most of the mixture on the bread and evenly distributed.
• Drop butter in sauce pan over medium heat. Once melted add the flour, stir then immediately add milk. Whisk briskly until smooth and sauce has a gravy like consistency. Add the Sargento Snack Bites, and stir until fully dissolved.
• Ladle the sauce over the bread and turkey. Top with the bacon.
• Bake for 13-15 minutes, until edges and bits of the cheese sauce are starting to nicely brown.
• Garnish with scallions.
