HOT BROWN SANDWICH 
1 1/4 lb. cooked turkey breasts
4 slices bread
8 slices crisp bacon
1/4 c. Parmesan cheese

1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
2 tsp. lemon juice
1/2 stick butter
1/4 c. flour
2 c. milk, heated
Additional Parmesan

Toast bread, butter lavishly.

In skillet, melt butter, remove from fire and stir in flour until smooth. Return to fire. Add hot milk and stir until perfectly smooth. Cook, stirring constantly until thickened. Add cheese. Stir 1/2 cupful of mixture into eggs, then pour back into sauce and stir for 1 minute. Add salt, pepper and lemon juice.
