I love recipes that use up leftover turkey and chicken....I always seem to have extra when a roast a bird, and sometimes I just don't want to use the excess for sandwiches.

How To Make chicken or turkey amandine

Step 1

Melt 1/4 cup of butter in a heavy saucepan over low heat; add flour, stirring until smooth. Cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually add the milk; cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thickened and bubbly.

Step 2

Add the wine, salt, and pepper to the white sauce. Stir well. Gradually stir about 1/4 of the hot mixture into the egg yolks. Then add the egg yolks to the hot mixture, stirring constantly. Cook over medium heat for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Step 3

Add the diced chicken or turkey, peas, and 2 tablespoons to the white sauce in the saucepan. Cook over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes or until thoroughly heated.
Step 4

Pour the chicken/turkey mixture into an ungreased 1 1/2 quart baking dish. Sprinkle the top with the remaining almonds and the breadcrumbs. Dot with 1 tablespoon butter, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Step 5

Broil 6 inches from heat for 1 to 2 minutes, or until lightly browned. Enjoy!
