Title: Helen Taft's Turkey or Chicken Croquettes
Categories: Poultry, Main dish
Yield: 2 servings

2 1/2 c Leftover turkey/chicken finely chopped
1 Medium onion, chopped
Salt, pepper, nutmeg to taste
2 tb Butter
3 tb Flour
1 1/2 c Heavy cream
2 Eggs, beaten
Bread crumbs

Combine the chopped turkey or chicken with the onion
and seasonings. Melt the butter, stir in the flour, and add this to the cream
over a low flame before combining the two mixtures. Chill, forming little
croquet shapes, roll in egg and then bread crumbs, and fry.

Serve this with rice, leftover giblet gravy and a fresh
green salad. Fresh fruit for dessert.

"You will have to agree this is probably the kind of food
that put President Taft in the 230 pound weight category."
