For each Hot Brown, place 2 bread slices side by side in a small baking dish.
10
Cover the bread with about 1/4 pound turkey and place 1 or 2 tomato slices alongside.
11
Pour 1/2 to 3/4 cup cheese sauce over the turkey and bread.
12
Sprinkle with more parmesan and broil until the sauce is bubbly and speckled brown, 2 to 3 minutes.

Remove from the broiler, cross 2 strips of bacon on top and sprinkle with parsley and more parmesan.
14
Serve immediately.
