2 1/2 c Leftover turkey/chicken

-finely chopped 1 Medium onion, chopped

Salt, pepper, nutmeg to -taste 2 tb Butter

3 tb Flour

1 1/2 c Heavy cream

2 Eggs, beaten

Bread crumbs Combine the chopped turkey or chicken with the onion and seasonings. Melt the butter, stir in the flour, and add this to the cream over a low flame before combining the two mixtures. Chill, forming little croquet shapes, roll in egg and then bread crumbs, and fry. Serve this with rice, leftover giblet gravy and a fresh green salad. Fresh fruit for dessert.
