How to Make Mamaw's Creamed Turkey Over Toast

  1. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) margarine over medium heat. Add 1 cup chicken stock (or leftover turkey broth for extra flavor) and 1 cup milk. Stir to combine.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup all-purpose flour until smooth. Gradually whisk the flour mixture into the hot milk and chicken stock, ensuring no lumps form. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Gently fold in 2 cups chopped cooked turkey. Be careful not to over-stir and break up the turkey pieces too much.
  5. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a tablespoon of milk at a time until you reach your desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  6. Once the cream sauce is thickened and the turkey is heated through, remove from heat and cover to keep warm.
  7. Serve immediately over toasted slices of your favorite bread or alongside homemade biscuits.
  8. Garnish with fresh herbs (optional) for extra flavor and visual appeal.
