Turkey Supreme


Here's an easy sauce for leftover turkey. Serve over noodles or rice. You can add pimiento or cooked peas or carrots to the sauce for more flavor and color.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
1 cup hot chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon salt
dash pepper
1 cup half-and-half
sliced turkey breast, about 12 to 16 ounces
cooked rice or noodles
1 to 2 tablespoons chopped toasted* almonds

Preparation:

Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat; add flour, stirring until smooth. Pour hot chicken broth into the flour mixture and stir until smooth. Add salt and pepper. Heat half-and-half in a separate saucepan or in microwave, then add to the thickened sauce. Cook over low heat for 10 minutes, stirring constantly. Serve sauce hot over sliced turkey breast and rice or noodles. Sprinkle with toasted chopped almonds if desired.

Serves 4.

*To toast nuts, spread out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Toast in a 350° oven, stirring occasionally, for 10 to 15 minutes. Or, toast in an ungreased skillet over medium heat, stirring, until golden brown and aromatic.
