4 tbsp butter
1/4 cup flour
3 cup chicken broth
2 cup heavy cream
2 tbsp dijon mustard, heaping
3 cup cooked turkey, cubed
1 lb pasta
Directions
Melt butter in large pan. Stir in flour to make a roux. Slowly mix in
hot chicken broth. I used broth made from the turkey carcass. Boil to
thicken. Add cream, mustard and stir until mixed. Add turkey and heat
until warm. Serve over hot pasta. I used red pepper pasta
NOTES : Great to use up leftover turkey. Major hit with the men in the
house. Served them with steamed brusse lsprouts. Great combination.
You could use cooked chicken.

The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of written recipes way back into ancient history, in truth as far as early Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these old cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts are a few tablets in Sumerian describing the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel blissful and exhilarated. Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius created a collection of scripts which described recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef recounts how the Romans were skilled in the use of many herbs and spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like basil, fennel and parsley. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and herbs from the holy lands, including spices like parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices caused an outbreak in recipe manuscripts, some of which are kept safe in private collections. For the centuries that followed, the rich families of Europe tried to lay on the most extravagent meals, and consequentially the best chefs and their collection of recipes became highly prized. Even so, it wasn`t until the 1800s that haute cuisine and recipe publications became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collating, verifying, and recording recipes to help cooks of their time. The introduction of the TV brought us celebrity chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on our site. |
