Biscuits & Gravy: Thanksgiving Edition
Took the quart of pan drippings from last night’s turkey and made gravy today. That is the best part of the oil-less turkey fryer. All of the drippings fall down below the burner, so you get a lot of quality product. Had a quart of gelatin to work with this morning.
Bowl + Biscuits + Leftover Turkey + Pan Gravy = Delicious
As a kid, we would put a piece of bread on a plate and cover it with my grandma’s gravy. What a memory.
After sharing this with others, I was told of a Hot Brown Sandwich. Something I’d never heard of. Chef Fred K. Schmidt at the Brown Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky, created The Hot Brown sandwich in 1926. In the 1920s, the Brown Hotel drew over 1,200 guests each evening for its dinner dance. The band would play until late, and when the band took a break, around midnight; people would retire to the restaurant for a bite to eat. Bored with the traditional ham and eggs, Chef Schmidt, delighted his guests by creating the Hot Brown.
