Kentucky Hot Brown Low-Carb Gluten-Free Recipe

Kentucky Hot Brown is a traditional recipe for a hot turkey sandwich.

It can be served as an entrée or a sandwich.

But by using regular bread it stops it from being Low-Carb, so here is a Low-Carb, Keto, Gluten-Free recipe for your Thanksgiving leftovers.

If I’m making a sandwich, I like to roll it up in a large Romaine leaf instead of using low-carb bread, but the choice is yours.

It’s delicious any time of year, but remember it’s also a great way to use up your turkey leftovers after Thanksgiving.
