Welcome

My grandmother always said that the kitchen is the heart of the home and I agree. So, please, come on in, get yourself a cup of coffee or tea and sit a spell...

Turkey Alfredo over Egg Noodles


Again with the leftovers! I still had some turkey in the freezer...

So, I cooked some egg noodles and made a Basic White Sauce (with parmesan cheese and fresh garlic):

Basic White Sauce (with parmesan cheese and garlic)

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoon butter
2-3 cloves garlic (minced)
4 tablespoons flour
salt
pepper
about 1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup parmesan cheese

In a medium sauce pan, melt butter in olive oil, add garlic and cook about a minute. Add flour. Stirring constantly, cook this mixture just a few minutes. Add a little salt and pepper. Continuing to stir constantly, slowly add the water and about a cup of the milk. As mixture comes to a boil, turn down heat and if too thick, add more milk. Once you have the consistency of a gravy, add the parmesan cheese and stir until smooth.

Then, I added about 2 cups diced cooked turkey and stirred until turkey was hot. I served it over egg noodles with peas on the side.

Very easy and tasty. Great use of leftover turkey, in my opinion.
