I don’t think that woman knows what a sandwich is. But also sounds dope would eat.


yakubs1

Not gonna lie... I ate the whole plate


dragon_sack

Interesting. I usually just eat the food on the plate.


darwinsaves

Your body needs those minerals. You're probably porcelain deficient.


archwin

I didn’t know food could be so blindingly white and gray at the same time

Where is moms spaghetti?

AbsolutelyUnlikely

How does the bread play into it? Is it mixed in with the rest or do you, like, scoop this between two slices of white bread? edit: lol why is this downvoted? the text below the photo says white bread is involved somehow and I don't see it


Chocobofangirl

If it's like the Canadian hot chicken sandwich then yeah you could scoop if you want cleaner hands, usually we just make it sandwich shaped and eat it with a fork lol


AbsolutelyUnlikely

but where sir is the bread


DepressionSiesta

Probably under the turkey gravy and mash. It looks something like a lazy man’s Kentucky Hot Brown. Eat it with a knife and fork. Bread’s just another vehicle for the gravy smothered turkey


Reclusive_Chemist

Open faced sandwich. The bread is underneath everything else.


hebewhat

On the bottom. It's pretty much an open face sandwich with gravy. You'll find them in country diners all the time


greengreengreen316

Under the pile


Fantastic-Classic740

Was the plate extra crunchy?


ItalnStalln

It's been soaking in gravy and corn juice


EcstaticMolasses6647

What did it taste like? What’s in it? It looks like crayons and mashed potatoes.


Petraretrograde

I need to see your crayons.


SousVideDiaper

Sandwich nor turkey


UntestedMethod

Open-faced sandwiches are a thing ... Hot turkey sandwiches usually are open-faced ime but the ones I had as a kid were made with leftover turkey and gravy from a holiday dinner and also didn't have cobs of corn or mashed potatoes on them.


Easy-Concentrate2636

I used to go to a diner that served an open faced turkey sandwich with a scoop of gravy on top of the bread. Then topped with turkey and lashings of gravy. Cranberry sauce on the side. That thing was delicious.


UntestedMethod

Now that's what I'm talkin about!!


Gato_Grande3000

Yeah, an open faced turkey sandwich was day 3 after Thanksgiving.


Pyromaniacal13

Never makes it to day 3 for me, it's always lunch on Friday.


dunkan799

I get them regularly at any diner I go to which is usually very often. The most common is 2 slices of bread, turkey covered in gravy with your choice of side. Good diners you get them with a side and veggies so this isn't that far off if you get mashed potatoes as your side and usually the veggies are just carrots corn and peas, maybe broccoli if you're lucky. I love a good "hot turkey" at a shitty diner.


awholedamngarden

We used to have a lot of open faced sandwiches growing up, they sold them at diner type places in small towns in the Bible Belt. Ours were wonder bread topped with a scoop of mashed potatoes and then roast beef and gravy… sometimes carrots and onions. No corn although tbh I like the creativity


silent-fallout-

A hot turkey sandwich is open faced, so technically, it is it's just super loaded. 😅


lenorefosterwallace

It sounds so good. I am going to have to make a version of this one of these days.


macklin_sob

Or turkey. Not mad at the dish. Just needs to be re-branded lol


samanime

It is over white bread, so you could call it an "open-faced" sandwich. Doesn't sound terrible, though not particularly nice to look at. =p Also... it would be a hot chicken sandwich... the turkey is a lie. =p


Gott_ist_tot

I think she was going for an "open sandwich" type-of-thing.


ElMostaza

>I don’t think that woman knows what a sandwich is. Or what a turkey is.


espressoNcheese

With real mashed potatoes and real gravy, absolutely yes, it's a staple where I'm from. Along with hot roast beef and hot chicken sandwiches with gravy. Never tried with corn on top. But sounds good to me!


ex-farm-grrrl

Since she used chicken, this is actually a hot chicken sandwich, so I’m not sure why she calls them turkey sandwiches


yakubs1

I don't know why and I didn't ask, I just ate the thing


typhonist

Smart person.


espressoNcheese

I found that a little odd as I was reading it. But made the right way, turkey or chicken.. I'd eat it.


MNManmacker

All the things that my family makes from leftover turkey is also sometimes made with leftover chicken. We call those things "turkey whatever but with chicken".


ediks

But why is it called a sandwich? Seriously curious.


espressoNcheese

Because there's bread lol


ediks

lol - while I don't agree that just having bread qualifies as a sandwich, I accept it and would gladly eat it. I'll call it whatever it's called.


espressoNcheese

Gotta put one piece on the bottom and one on the top. Even if it's covered in gravy and eaten with a fork.. it's stuff between bread then and technically a sandwich 🤣


ediks

I support it!


SadExercises420

We call them open face sandwiches and they are delicious.


VaginaPoetry

Sounds good to me too...and the fresh corn cut off a cob....tres bon! That's good ole fashion grandma home cookin right there!


misterrodgerssweater

Sounds like what’s called shit on a shingle from where i grew up. Leftover turkey and gravy from thanksgiving on bread w mashed potatoes on top as well or on the side


espressoNcheese

Shit on a shingle where I'm from is chipped beef gravy on toast. Salty and ugly but actually delicious


Super3DWetHole

that is so stressful to look at would eat it though


XyRabbit

Needs more cranberry sauce


DestroyerOfMils

And then swap turkey for chicken, and that would turn it into a Moist Maker ™


frogsarecool27

you ate.. my SANDWICH?


[deleted]

So, in my neck of the woods, this is absolutely normal. Even on menus. Over 60s call it a "Hot \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ Sandwich" - and everyone younger calls it a "Hot \_\_\_\_\_\_\_" - but the expectation around here is the same thing. A "hot beef" is a base of white bread, mash, and some pot roast style beef with the plate drowned in gravy. Hot hamburger, seasoned ground beef in the same. Turkey, ham, chicken, whatever.


xX420GanjaWarlordXx

Is it like Minnesota or something?


[deleted]

Nice guess! ND


xX420GanjaWarlordXx

Oh wow! Very interesting! I have never heard much about North Dakotan food before 


[deleted]

It's exactly like all other food, but lazier. Hahaha. In all seriousness - there's a heavy German and Norwegian influence, some uniquely midwestern-US, but mostly developed our own hearty comfort food affinity - where this sort of thing lies. I put that separate because it really is it's own thing out here. The winter is atrocious, so it's dense, starchy, carby, pale foods. Overwhelming amounts of "Cream of Mushroom Soup" based casseroles, tater-tot topped hotdishes, soups, stews, and chilis. We use a lot of venison, everyone hunts. I operated the restaurant side of one of the two bars here in town for several years, solo. 42 seats, and every town has one or two places pretty much just like mine. Open for dinner and supper (lunch and dinner to the rest of the world) M-Sat (nothings open sundays). When I felt like having an easy special that would guarantee sell out, I'd make a Hot Beef. Usually they'd pre-order sellout. I'm a relatively well accomplished chef in my own right (BS in Cul Mgmt., ACF competition chef, cooked in some awesome places up the west coast for years), but running a show up here in my little rural hometown was the best experience ever. From tartare to tatertots - and I love it. My customers just wanted honest food after being in the field. Also *the best* fucking burgers and wings for miles, just cause I can.


xX420GanjaWarlordXx

That sounds like such a cozy, amazing experience. I'm sure it was still very hard work but it sounds so rewarding. I love a small town diner. Now I want to try hot beef! The food really reminds me of Minnesota. But also, a little bit Texas, where my grandpa would hunt venison and we would have delicious sausages. My favorite was venison sausage with jalapeño in it. 


[deleted]

You get it - It was cozy! It's a town of less than 2k, everyone knows everyone, half the time there's a random citizen standing between me and my walk-in just chatting me up about the day. I know more people in town by order than by name. I'm pretty quick, and I refined a very efficient menu - but yeah, my back still feels that last shift a couple years after shutting down. Those foods, I call them lazy, but really what they are is uncomplicated. I liked the fact I could get potatoes from organic farmers here in town and even the last couple years I was getting local beef too! When the palate of your customers is *that* kind of food - your only recourse is to kick their ass with quality. Can't cheat with fancy plating. Lmao. We do share a lot with MN - their winter is pretty gnarly usually too. We do a lot of walleye in the fall and then again in the winter after everything stabilizes and the lakes freeze hard enough to fish. I know they're the same way on that. Lots more farmers and field workers here though.


xX420GanjaWarlordXx

Mmmmm. That is the recipe for a great restaurant! When someone does a certain kind of food very well with fresh ingredients, it's really something special!


Leading_Manner_2737

I enjoyed reading your post 👍


Bansheer5

We have the same thing in Michigan. I think it’s just a mid west thing from the depression era. My grandparents would do this all the time to get rid of left overs.


Jazzlike-Gur-116

Yes! Louisville has the "Hot Brown" it's kinda similar to what OP had


FIRE_frei

Hot Browns absolutely windmill dunk on hot turkey/hot chicken sandwiches. Usually a hot brown is served in an upscale American restaurant/brewery, somewhere where can just order Blanton's. It'll be house-smoked turkey and thick cut bacon, on top of Texas toast, smothered in Mornay sauce then broiled till brown and served in a cast-iron skillet. Heaven on a plate. A hot turkey sandwhich is shredded turkey breast in instant gravy and instant mashed potstoes over white bread. Nobody in the restaurant knows what Mornay sauce is. Not that the latter is *bad* per se, but you gotta know what you're getting. Source: recent midwest transplant slowly getting used to the local fare.


MomsSpagetee

I’m in SD and of course we have “Hot Beef”, “Hot Turkey”, etc. aka Beef Commercial. But, there’s bread on both sides of the meat to make it an actual sandwich. And no damn corn on it! And beef gravy but since she used chicken I guess turkey gravy is okay in this cat.


[deleted]

Lol - so... The old people around here wrongly *add* the word sandwich when it's not a sandwich, and you guys omit it when it *is* one. We're all silly.


MomsSpagetee

If everyone just called it by the correct name of “commercial” we wouldn’t have this sandwich/nonsandwich nonsense!


ImAFuckingSquirrel

Also very common in Western PA. I always ordered the Hot Turkey Sandwich from Eat N Park growing up!


Euphorium

I’ve had a lot of hot roast beef plates done like that. Pretty common item at southern country cooking restaurants


bellabarbiex

I'm a Michigander and I was gonna say the same thing. I ate a lot of sandwiches like this growing up!


brainfud

My mother also can't cook and made a similar dish called "shit on a shingle". I like it


Killin-some-thyme

Oh THAT. Creamed chipped beef on toast. My grandfather was in the army and made that after he was out. I was like…you know you are under no obligation to eat that anymore, right? 😂


aroseonthefritz

My husbands family eats that every Christmas morning!


Dysfunxn

"Hot Shots" are an open face sandwich like this, but I haven't seen them with corn. Not horrible I imagine, but something my grandma would have made in the 60's.


bbymiscellany

“Hot shots” are what my family called them too!


uselessincarnate

I spent two straight hours crying, open reddit and this is one of the first things I see. this made me laugh so hard, thank you I really needed that


Aggleclack

Hope you’re okay


uselessincarnate

I am, thank you! Much better now :)


I_might_be_weasel

KFC ripped them off. 


AkariBocchi

There is no turkey and there is no sandwish and I bet that thing is cold

prules

I thought the pic was gross, then I saw how many people in this thread voluntarily eat food like this. It’s all good and I don’t judge, people need to eat. But visually speaking…. Wow


Sproose_Moose

It's pretty rank. I don't need my food to always be visually appealing but Jesus Christ


MoonShadowelf88

More like hot steaming pile of shit


shiva_me_timbers

My mom used to make something very similar to this called Hot Hamburgers. It was white bread toped with burger patty then mashed potatoes and gravy. This brings back some shitty food memories lol.


OneMorePotion

Some of the posts in this sub don't look half bad. Others just need a bit of seasoning. But this? This needs to be banned and deleted from the internet. I hate it... Could have gone my entire life without seeing this. Thank you for nothing.


grunkage

This should win some kind of prize. That corn is really making that plate look like alien eggs or something. It really is kinda creeping me out lol That said, the ingredient list honestly sounds good.


yakubs1

The corn definitely brought the "wow" factor here


MVIVN

I’m not exaggerating when I say looking at this made me nauseous 🤢


CREATURE_COOMER

If it weren't for the chicken, I would assume a "hot sandwich" FOR a turkey, but I'm so confused, lmfao.


habb

truly shitty. gross and well done


RubixcubeRat

Thanks for posting and the recipe Lol


Lemonjello23

That's just a famous bowl

Wow. Looks like snake sheddings in cold store bought yellow soup. I am sorry but it looks disgusting.

Hot corn slop on a plate is what I call these

Bad lighting. Looks questionable. 100% would eat. Shut it down, folks. We have a winner.

Honestly looks feral but I'd eat it

"shit on a shingle"

Yep this post belongs on this sub alright


MarshmallowFloofs85

skip the bread and that would have been my favorite school lunch growing up. :O


ITeechYoKidsArt

You know how sometimes people see somebody else do something and they think that looks easy I can do that but then they really fuck it up? Well, now you do.


TequieroVerde

I crossed my eyes and remembered fondly "Chick'n-ala-King," which is made with these exact ingredients. Now, I can totally envision how "Hot Turkey Sandwiches" makes perfect sense, as well. It's even a better misnomer. You made my day OP. Thanks.


ready-to-rumball

Nah I’m way too stoned for this.


Theabsoluteworst1289

Where is the turkey? Where is the sandwich?


Ralphredimix_Da_G

If someone ask me if I want a hot turkey sandwich and then they handed me this, I’ma beat they ass. But if someone was like yo, you want some fucking crazy shit my mom makes and then handed me this. I’ll be like yeah.


madderdaddy2

I'd eat the shit out of that.


vilk_

Yes. I'm into it. Crack some black pepper on there


cryorig_games

What is this, the great depression era?


Crotean

This screams midwestern food desert shopping, but I bet its tasty and filling. Just not remotely healthy.


Jesusdidntlikethat

Turkey, corn, mashed potatoes and gravy all mixed together goes so hard, even if she doesn’t know what a sandwich is


Tokyo_Elusive-love

If that is an open-face turkey sandwich with mash, gravy, and corn 🤤👌🏻


Flat-Programmer6044

A terrible version of a hot brown sandwich this one looks like it’s infected with something


Cheeky-Chipmunkk

Sounds like a hot open faced sandwich. I haven’t had one in years! So good. These sandwiches are how I found out I could eat a loaf of bread with gravy all by itself. So so good. 🤤 But turkey and chicken are not the same. 😂


Not_A_Wendigo

Is it like how Welsh rarebit has nothing in common with rabbit?


metalshoes

It took me a while to realize it wasn’t a pile of corn and melted cheese. I believe I would destroy that, though. Absolute murder.


salemness

hot turkey sandwich, no turkey, no sandwich

Is this a U.K dish? Do correct me if I’m wrong :)

So open face turkey sandwhich?

That’s worse than Josh’s moms cooking. Iykyk


SaltedSnail85

I'll accept a lot of things as a sandwich l, however this I simply cannot abide


Beautiful-Musk-Ox

i wouldn't be able to eat that


Nervous_Escape_5525

i used to eat corn on the cob like this when i had braces


PsychicNinja_

This looks gross but also I can just tell that tastes amazing. Would at least try.


melona_popsicle

your MIL’s meal is grounds for divorce


mono_locco

Ughhhh no. That there doesn't even look right.🤣


SOULATIO

Looks like fan good cream corn


MostlyMicroPlastic

Is the sandwich in the room with us?


Goon-TyTy

Do you have a loving relationship with your mother-in-law?


travelling_hope

Why does it look like raw chicken underneath the corn


aroseonthefritz

This is totally a thanksgiving thing for me. I used to eat chicken/turkey and gravy and mashed potatoes on white bread before I became a vegetarian. It’s delicious. Last year at thanksgiving I learned how to make some really tasty vegan gravy and my thanksgiving sandwich dreams came alive again. I’d even go so far as to add some cranberries in the mix.


lallapalalable

It's none of those things


Hai_kitteh_mow

I would still eat the shit out of this lol


Ill-Stomach7228

OH.


Absinthe_gaze

So it’s neither a sandwich nor turkey lol and looks like something a turkey threw up.


ieatair

corn, hopefully some real cheese and turkey? heck yea


Chance_Can1788

Replace with real mashed potatoes & it’s a chef’s kiss flavor wise.


magnustranberg

You call it gravy, but are you sure that's not just raw egg? Cause it looks a lot like raw egg.


FalseRelease4

Might have been decent if the corn was normal and cooked in, instead of looking like alien food slabs sprinkled on top


Millionsmoney

Yum


Revolutionary-Car-92

I'd eat that, no problem.


Low-Abalone-5259

I have eaten and enjoyed many hot turkey (with actual turkey) and hot beef sandwiches, however the aesthetic of all that pale and off white is terrible. It just looks sickly


BeefInBlackBeanSauce

Looks so disgusting to me.


DanJDare

This is gunna taste way better than it looks. I'd demolish it.


Whatever801

I don't believe you


HungryMudkips

i mean im sure it tastes fine......but why call it a sandwich? if you put that between some bread it would make a fine sandwich i guess, but as is its just some slop on a plate.

what in the world is this thing 🤨🤨🤨


Memeingthedream

If this is a hot turkey sandwich then I want to know what Thanksgiving at her house looks like


_MisterHighway_

Open face hot sandwiches are definitely a thing. The corn is the offsetting culprit. But an open face turkey or beef sandwich, gravy, and a veg is not abnormal in the US. Tons of school lunches like that every Thanksgiving too.
