Creamed Turkey Recipes

CREAMED TURKEY ON TOAST

Steps:

• The stock needs to reduce down from one quart to three cups so place on stove and simmer until reduced.
• If you have part of a turkey leftover and are using the meat from that for this recipe, place the whole carcass in with the stock. It will help soften the meat so you can remove it from the bone. This step is only an option if you don't already have the two pounds of cooked turkey or chicken and are picking meat from a turkey or chicken.
• Once the stock has reduced, add milk and cream and heat just until hot. Keep warm over low heat.
• In a large skillet, melt butter over medium and add onions. Cook until translucent and no longer crunchy.
• Add flour and cook for three minutes.
• Add stock and cream mixture one third at a time to the skillet, stirring each time with a wire whip.
• Once all of the liquid is in, add salt, nutmeg, mustard, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder and curry powder.
• Cook over low heat for a few minutes and add cooked turkey or chicken shredding as you add.
• Bring up to hot but be careful not to scorch.
• Add frozen peas, stir and hold over low heat while you slice and toast the bread.
• Slice bread into thick slices and lightly toast.
• To serve, place single slices of toast on dinner plates and top with a generous portion of the creamed chicken.
• Great served with steamed carrots.

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.
