MAMAW'S CREAMED TURKEY OVER TOAST



Mamaw's Creamed Turkey over Toast image

The day after Thanksgiving you can achieve the very pinnacle of comfort food! My mom ended up having to bake several turkeys a year just so we could get this stuff. Some very knowledgeable 'Zaarites helped me to ressurect it as the recipe had been lost.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 40m

Yield 8 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups whole milk
2/3 cup chicken stock
4 tablespoons margarine
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
5 cups cooked turkey, deboned and roughly chopped
12 slices white bread, toasted

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.

Tips:

- To ensure the turkey is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C). - If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check the turkey is cooked by piercing it with a fork or skewer. The juices should run clear, not pink. - To prevent the turkey from drying out, baste it regularly with the cream sauce. - If you want a thicker sauce, you can add a cornstarch or flour slurry. To make a slurry, mix equal parts cornstarch or flour with water until smooth. Then, whisk the slurry into the sauce and simmer until thickened. - You can also add other vegetables to the sauce, such as mushrooms, carrots, or celery. - Serve the turkey with mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.
