Slowly and gradually whisk in the warm milk. Continue whisking until the mixture is completely smooth.

Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and cook, whisking frequently, for 5-7 minutes, or until it has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon.

Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the freshly grated Pecorino-Romano cheese, nutmeg, salt, and white pepper until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is velvety smooth.

Assemble the Hot Browns

Place the 4 slices of Texas toast (crusts trimmed, if desired) into individual oven-safe dishes or a large baking dish.
Divide the thick-sliced roasted turkey evenly among the toast slices, mounding it generously in the center of each.
Ladle the warm Mornay sauce over the turkey and toast, ensuring everything is completely covered.
Place two slices of tomato on top of the sauce for each Hot Brown.

Broil to Perfection

Place the assembled Hot Browns under the preheated broiler.
Broil for 3-5 minutes, watching constantly, until the sauce is bubbly and develops beautiful golden-brown spots.
Do not walk away during this step, as the sauce can go from golden to burnt in a matter of seconds.

Garnish and Serve Immediately

Carefully remove the Hot Browns from the oven using oven mitts.
Top each sandwich by crisscrossing two slices of the cooked bacon over the top.
Sprinkle with a dash of paprika and freshly chopped parsley for color and flavor.
Serve immediately while piping hot and bubbly.
