For the sauce:
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • pinch cayenne pepper
  • pinch white pepper

For the sandwiches:
  • 4 slices toasted sourdough bread
  • 9 oz sliced cooked turkey breast
  • 1 beefsteak tomato, sliced and patted dry
  • pinch salt
  • 8 slices crispy cooked bacon
Preparation
  1. Melt butter in saucepan over low heat. Whisk in flour and stir until incorporated. Allow to cook for 1-2 minutes until golden in color, stirring often. Whisk in milk and increase heat to medium. Cook for 2 minutes or until thickened, stirring often. Add in cheese.
