Turkey Devonshire Sandwich
October 25, 2015
The Turkey Devonshire Sandwich, sometimes simply called a Devonshire, originated in the 1930s in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. It is typically served as a hot open faced sandwich on toasted bread with hot turkey, bacon, tomatoes, and a cheese sauce. It was created by Frank Blandi (1907-1999), who first served them at The Stratford Club in Pittsburgh's Shadyside neighborhood.

My Dad is crazy for this and is always asking me to make it again! Unfortunately, we made ham yesterday, so I don’t have any leftover turkey!

This was served at a staff cafeteria at Lee hospital many years ago . It was a variation of this served with fresh asparagus instead of bacon. One of my favorites Did not realize it originated in Pittsburgh. Will make it today with left over turkey
