Melt the butter in a non-stick saucepan over medium heat.
Add the flour and salt. Cook for 2-3 minutes, whisking occasionally until the butter and flour turn a deep golden color.
Slowly pour in the milk and whisk until smooth. Then add the crushed tomatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally until bubbly and thickened.
Add the cheeses and stir until completely melted into the mornay sauce.
Set one of the oven racks in the upper third of the oven and turn it to the broil setting (500 degrees F).
Line a baking pan with foil and place the bread slices onto the pan in an even layer.
Top each bread slice with 4 ounces of sliced turkey. Spoon the mornay sauce evenly over the turkey, about 2/3 cup per sandwich.
Top with some additional shredded Swiss or Gruyere cheese if desired.
Broil the sandwiches until the tops are bubbly and golden brown, about 4-5 minutes. Watch carefully so as not to burn.
Sprinkle some fresh chopped herbs like basil or parsley onto each sandwich. Top each open-faced sandwich with two slices of cooked bacon and serve.
