Ingredients
- 1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup pimiento, diced
- 1/4 cup butter
- 2 tablespoons margarine
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup cooked turkey, diced
- 1/3 to 1/2 cup peas
- 5 teaspoons sage, dried or fresh
- 1/8 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
Instructions
-
Sauté Celery: Begin by melting the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the finely chopped celery and cook until tender and fragrant, which should take about 3-4 minutes.
-
Add Pimiento and Margarine: Stir in the diced pimiento and margarine. Continue cooking until the margarine is fully melted and everything is well combined, another 2 minutes.
-
Incorporate Milk: Gradually pour in the milk, stirring constantly to ensure a smooth mixture. Allow the milk to heat through, but avoid letting it boil.
-
Add Turkey and Peas: Once the milk is warmed, add the diced cooked turkey and peas to the saucepan. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
-
Season and Flavor: Sprinkle in the sage and salt. Stir the mixture frequently as it heats, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
-
Serve: Once the sauce is thickened and the turkey is heated through, remove from heat. Serve the creamed chicken generously over split cornbread, biscuits, or toast, according to your preference.
