Category: One Dish Meal

Keywords: Poultry, Meat, < 30 Mins, Inexpensive

Servings: 5

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 cups cooked turkey, diced
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 cup diced pimento
  • 3/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Instructions:

  1. Melt the Butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until it’s fully liquid and begins to bubble gently.

  2. Cook the Onion: Add the finely chopped onion to the melted butter. Sauté the onion, stirring occasionally, until it becomes tender and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

  3. Make the Roux: Sprinkle the flour and salt over the cooked onions. Stir well to combine and cook for 1 minute, allowing the flour to blend thoroughly with the butter, creating a roux. This will thicken the sauce.

  4. Add Liquids: Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk all at once. Continue to stir constantly to avoid lumps and ensure the mixture is smooth.

  5. Cook the Sauce: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and starts to bubble, which should take about 5-7 minutes.

  6. Add Turkey and Pimentos: Stir in the diced turkey and diced pimento. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until everything is heated through, about 3-4 minutes.

  7. Melt the Cheese: Reduce the heat to low. Add the shredded Monterey Jack cheese and stir continuously until the cheese is fully melted and incorporated into the sauce.

  8. Serve: Serve your Turkey à la King over warm biscuits or toasted bread for a delightful and comforting meal.
