Hello Peggy,
I believe what you mean is a "Kentucky Hot Brown", made famous by the Brown
Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky in the early 20th century. Below is a recipe,
but it comes in several different variations. Most commonly country ham is
added and a cheddar sauce is substituted. The below version is from the
Beaumont Inn in Harrodsburg, Kentucky, and is close to the original recipe.
Kentucky Hot Brown
Ingredients
3 ounces turkey breast, roasted and sliced
1 slice white bread, toasted
2 slices tomato
2 slices bacon, cooked and drained
Sauce
2 ounces butter
3 ounces flour
3/4 cup cream
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup Swiss cheese, grated
salt and white pepper to taste
Sauce: Heat butter and add flour. Whisk and slowly cook for 5 minutes.
Whisk in cream and milk; heat. Whisk in cheese until melted. Season.
Simmer for 30 minutes. Sauce should be very thick.
Quarter toast and place in oven-safe dish. Top with turkey and tomatoes.
Cover well with sauce. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. Garnish with
bacon.

This has been printed in the local paper almost every year around Thanksgiving
lots of turkey recipes needed around that time lol) and is in a book on Kentucky Dining.
I saw a request for the recipe and noticed that you had provided an alternative so I
thought I would share the one for the restaurant she was referring to. It is the
"birthplace" of the Hot Brown.
4 oz butter
6 T flour
3 to 3-1/2 c milk
6 T grated parmesan cheese
1 egg, beaten
1 oz heavy cream, whipped
salt and pepper
Sliced roasted turkey breast
12 slices toast
Grated Parmesan cheese
12 strips bacon
In skillet, melt butter. Add flour and stir until absorbed. Stir in milk and cheese.
Add egg. Do NOT allow to boil. Removed from heat and fold in cream with seasonings.
For each hot brown place 2 slices toast in oven proof dish. Cover with sliced turkey
and sauce. Sprinkle with additional parmesan and broil until speckled brown and bubbling.
Remove from broiler. Cross two strips bacon on top and serve at once.

I am in need of the instruction book for a Black and Decker Shell Maker.
I guess this goes with yard sale finds...missing instructions. The company
does not respond.
Thanks

... Kurdish friends, all of whom cook very well, but who say all their
mothers (from a small Turkish Kurdish village) were opportunistic cooks
who most often simply prepared what was at hand. Thus they didn't have
an arsenal of traditional recipes to offer me. However, there seems to
be a style which although reminiscent of pure Turkish tradition, has
some definite Kurdish earmarks.
In spite of this , they are good cooks, and I am fortunate enough to
have supped with them on many occasions. They make wonderful salads,
as basic as, well, not even 123, just 1! For example, tonight with
an almost vegetarian bulgar dish, they served greens, ie watercress
and rapini, with tomatoes and green onions and sweet green peppers,
served on a large central plate for all, eastern style. These greens
they simply -> aggressively salted and generously doused with fresh
squeezed lemon juice. And they almost always serve a bowl of plain
full fat youghurt on the side. The youghurt and salad plate was an
absolutely stunning foil to the bulgar main dish, which they called
Bulgur Pilave. I will attempt a narrative recipe here, from watching
and asking, giving you techniques and ingredients, not amounts:
Bulgar Pilave
Start by rendering a few small pieces of lamb-tail fat in a deep frypan.
Pan should contain about enough fat to sauté veggies, and a bit to coat
the bulgar, over all about 1 1/2 TBS of rendered lamb tail fat, to serve
about 4.
Sauté onions, peppers and garlic.
Add rather coarse bulgar, and stir till coated, sort of risotto style.
Continue cooking a bit, till veggies have some caramelised edges.
Add tomatoes and/or tomato paste, and water or stock.
Season to taste, the bulgar needs more salt than you might think.
Attend to the dish as it cooks until grains are tender, and add water
as needed.
There should be enough lamb-fat to flavour, but not overwhelm the dish. It
should not be overtly greasy. The bulgar grains should be separate and the
entire dish should be moist and salubrious but not sloppy. The colour should
be a very light red, more pink than tomato red.
It was really good. Aside from the lamb fat, pretty healthy too.
