Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Rub the turkey with 2 teaspoons vegetable oil; sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper. Place on a baking sheet and roast until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 160 degrees F, 45 to 55 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest 15 minutes before chopping; the internal temperature will rise to 165 degrees F.
• Meanwhile, place the bacon on a baking sheet and bake until crisp, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 250 degrees F. Coat the tomatoes with the remaining 2 teaspoons vegetable oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the tomatoes cut-side up on a separate parchment-lined baking sheet and bake until they start to dehydrate and wrinkle, about 45 minutes.
• While the tomatoes are cooking, start the Mornay sauce: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Heat the milk in a small saucepan over medium heat. When the butter is melted, add the flour and stir continuously so the roux doesn't scorch, about 2 minutes. When the milk starts to simmer, slowly add it to the roux, stirring continuously so lumps don't form. Increase the heat and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the cheddar and roasted peppers and stir until smooth. Remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper.
• Preheat the broiler. Distribute the bread cubes evenly among four 6-inch cast-iron gratin pans (or use disposable pie plates or other small pans). Cut the turkey into 1/2-inch pieces; discard the skin and bones. Divide the turkey evenly among the pans. Spoon the Mornay sauce over the turkey, then top with the tomatoes. Sprinkle with the parmesan and bacon and broil until golden and bubbling, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Melt butter and add enough flour to make a reasonably thick roux (enough to absorb all of the butter). Add milk and 6 tablespoons Parmesan. Add egg to thicken sauce, but do not allow to boil.
• Remove from heat. Fold in whipped cream. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• For each Hot Brown, place 2 slices of toast on a metal (or flameproof) dish. Cover the toast with mushrooms and thinly sliced tomatoes, then cover with a liberal amount of turkey. Pour a generous amount of sauce over the turkey and toast. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan. Place entire dish under a broiler until the sauce is speckled brown and bubbly. Remove from broiler, cross 2 pieces of bacon on top and serve immediately.

• Quarter the toast and place in 6" ramekins, or any oven-safe dish. Top with turkey and tomatoes. Cover with the sauce (be generous, it's good!). Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes or so.

EMERIL'S KENTUCKY HOT BROWNS

Steps:

• In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the mushrooms, salt, and black pepper and cook, stirring, until the mushrooms give up their liquid and begin to color, 4 minutes. Stir in the parsley, remove from the heat and set aside.
• Preheat the broiler and move the baking rack to the highest position. Line a heavy baking sheet with aluminum foil and set aside.
• In a medium saucepan, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Add the flour and cook, stirring, until thick, about 3 minutes, being careful not to let the flour brown. Using a whisk, add the milk in a steady stream and cook, whisking constantly, until thick and smooth, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the salt, pepper, Essence, and cayenne and stir well. Add 1/2 cup of the cheese, stir, and cook over low heat until very thick and the cheese is melted, 2 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Place the toasted bread on the prepared baking sheet and divide the turkey among the toasts. Arrange the mushrooms on the turkey, spread the sauce over the top out to the edges of the turkey, and sprinkle each with 2 tablespoons of the remaining cheese. Place under the broiler until bubbly and the cheese starts to brown, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, being careful not to let the cheese burn. Remove from the oven.
• Transfer the Hot Browns to 4 plates. Arrange 2 slices of bacon over each, garnish with additional parsley and the chives, and serve immediately.
