Mamaws Creamed Turkey Over Toast Food

MAMAW'S CREAMED TURKEY OVER TOAST

Steps:

• In a large no-stick skillet, begin heating the milk, margarine and chicken stock over medium heat.
• Whisk in the flour right away, eliminating all lumps, and as it comes to a boil, it should thicken.
• Add the salt and pepper. (Black pepper is okay as a substitute).
• As it thickens, toss in the chopped turkey and stir carefully as to not break up the chunks too much.
• If it gets too thick, just add some milk and stir.
• As soon as the mix is thick enough to your liking, it is done. Turn off the heat and cover until serving.
• Serve over slices of toast or, make up some of your favorite biscuits instead.
• If you have some left-over turkey broth from the day before when the turkey was baked, use that instead of chicken stock.
• Note: the more dark meat, the better. It really adds to the flavor of this dish.

BEST CREAMED TURKEY WITH THYME BISCUITS

Steps:

• Sauce -- It in medium size pot, melt the butter and add the chicken until well heated through, 5 or so minutes on medium heat. Add the flour and mix to combine well. Add the milk, sherry, thyme, salt and pepper and stir until well mixed and cook on medium until the sauce becomes thick. Reduce to low while you make the biscuits.
• Note: if you like the sauce thicker go a bit shy of the milk or just the opposite you want it thinner or more sauce -- just add more milk.
• Biscuits -- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, add the bisquick, milk, thyme, cheddar and pepper and mix well. On a cookie or baking sheets lined with parchment or sprayed with pam drop spoonfuls of the mix on the pan. I like a couple of spoonfuls per biscuit. Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown.
• Serving -- Slice in half on your plate and serve the creamed turkey on top. Garnish with fresh parsley. Serve this with a nice green vegetable like broccoli rabe which could be roasted right along with the biscuits. Comfort food doesn't get much better.
