Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour, salt, pepper and nutmeg until the mixture is smooth. Gradually whisk in the cream and milk, then bring the mixture to a boil. Cook and stir until the sauce is thickened, one to two minutes. Reduce the heat to low, then add the cheese and stir until it's melted. Keep the sauce warm.
In each of two small cast-iron or other ovenproof skillets, place one slice of toast in the center of the skillet. Cut the remaining two slices of toast in half diagonally and arrange one triangle on either side of the toast in the center of the pans. Arrange the turkey over the toast and add two tomato halves, cut sides up, to each skillet. Pour the sauce over the turkey, toast and tomatoes in both skillets.
Bake the Hot Browns until they're lightly browned and bubbly, 10 to 15 minutes. Top them with bacon, a little more cheese and a sprinkle of parsley and paprika. Serve them immediately.
