• Heat the butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the green onion (white and light green) and minced parsley and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the flour until smooth and bubbly. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes.

CREAMED HAM ON TOAST

Steps:

• In a saucepan or skillet on low-medium heat, melt the butter.
• Add the diced onions and mixed veggies. Cook until tender and soft, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in the salt, pepper and dry mustard.
• Add the flour, mix well, and cook for about 1 minute.
• Then add the stock and milk, and bring the mixture to a low boil over low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens (about 5 minutes).
• Stir in the diced ham and let the mixture simmer for about 5 more minutes, until the ham is warmed through.
• Serve immediately over warm toast.
• If needed, season with extra salt and pepper to taste.

CREAMED HAM (OR TURKEY)

Steps:

• Melt butter in a medium sized pot over medium heat.
• Slowly add flour, whisking constantly to make a smooth mixture. Cook the mixture for about a minute, whisking constantly.
• Gradually add milk, whisking during every addition. Mixture will initially seize up but as you add more milk it will start to loosen.
• Slowly the mixture will become more liquid. Continue to whisk it very well in order to avoid lumps. Add milk a few tablespoons at a time, whisking as you add it, until it's all incorporated.
• Initially the mixture will be thin. Stir with a wooden spoon, scraping the bottom of the pot, until it thickens. Depending on the temperature of the burner this could take 5-15 minutes.
• The sauce will be done not long after it starts to slightly boil and thicken. Stir in chopped ham (or turkey).
• Season with salt, starting with 1/2 teaspoon and adding more to taste, depending on the saltiness of your ham or turkey. I often use about 1 teaspoon in total.
• Serve over mashed potatoes, with vegetables on the side.Enjoy! :)
