Turkey Ala King!

Turkey Ala King is a wonderful comfort food.  Rich and creamy, a perfect use for leftover turkey or chicken. 
Ingredients:
4 or 5 mushrooms sliced (more if you love them, less if you don’t)
2 stalks of celery chopped
½ cup chopped onion
2 cloves of garlic minced
½ cup butter (1 stick)
½ cup flour
2 cups chicken broth
2 cups half and half (you can use milk)
Approximately 2 cups cooked turkey (or chicken) cut into bite size pieces

1.      Melt butter in a deep fry pan over medium-high heat.  Add mushrooms, celery, onion, and garlic.  Stir and cook for 5 minutes or until onion is transparent.
2.      Stir in flour.  This will be goopy, keep it moving in the pan for about a minute.
3.      Add chicken broth and half and half.  Stir constantly until bubbly.  Keep stirring, while bubbly until it starts to thicken.
4.      Add turkey.  Keep stirring until turkey is heated through.
5.      Salt and pepper to taste.
6.      Serve over fresh biscuits or toast.
