Turkey a la King rec.food.cooking/Dr. Glenn Lasseigne
From my Mama, delicious and easy. We always served it over buttered toast or biscuits.
1 1/3 cup butter or margarine 1 lb mushrooms, sliced 10 Tbsp flour 1 1/3 cup chicken broth 1 pint half & half 6 cups turkey, cooked, coarsely chopped 2/3 cup milk 8 oz chopped pimento 1 cup sherry wine salt black and red pepper poultry seasoning, with sage additional broth
Melt butter. Saute mushrooms for 5 minutes. Stir in flour and mix well. Heat broth in separate pan and add to mixture gradually. Gradually add cream. Stir in milk, pimento, and wine. Add turkey. Season to taste and cook over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes. Adjust consistency with additional broth if necessary.
Personal hints: Do not substitute any other wine -- use sherry. Even if you don't like them, don't skip the pimento -- they really add flavor. Make sure your poultry season has sage as the first or second ingredient -- or use ground sage and a little celery salt.
