Turkey a la King
There are so many great dishes to make from Turkey leftovers it’s almost impossible to narrow it down to one. Turkey a la King is simple, filling and can be put together in minutes. It may be called Turkey a la King, but it’s fit for a Queen!
Ingredients
- Turkey
- Peas
- Carrots
- Celery
- Onions
- Mushrooms
- Milk
- Flour
- Butter
- Sage
- Thyme
- Puff Pastry Shells
- Salt & Pepper
White Sauce or Bechamel Sauce
Start by making a simple white sauce.
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons flour
- 2 1/2 cups milk, heated (you can also use heavy cream or half & half) I used low fat half & half, because well, that’s all I had!
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 1/4 tsp of nutmeg
- 1 fresh sage leaf
Melt the butter in a saucepan. Stir in the flour and stirring continuously, without letting it brown — about 2-4 minutes. Add the heated milk, and sage leaf, continuing to stir as the sauce thickens. Bring it to a low boil. Add salt and pepper to taste, lower the heat and continue stirring for 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove from the heat.
Turkey Mixture

- 1 cup of sliced mushrooms
- 3/4 cup finely chopped sweet onion
- 1/2 cup finely chopped celery

- salt and pepper to taste
