1/4 cup dry bread crumbs |
1/4 cup finely chopped onion |
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese |
2 tablespoons chicken broth |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme |
1-1/2 pounds ground turkey |
2 tablespoons olive oil |

3 cups sliced onions |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme |
1/4 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2 cups beef broth |
1 cup chicken broth |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1/4 teaspoon worcestershire sauce |
sandwiches: |
8 submarine buns |
1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded monterey jack cheese |
Directions:
