TURKEY WITH CURRIED CREAM SAUCE
Give plain old turkey a brand-new spin with classic Indian spices. My version's pretty mild, but if you're in the mood for fire, add extra curry and a shake or two of cayenne pepper. This dish disappears fast, no matter who's at the table. -Lori Lockrey, Scarborough, Ontario

Steps:
- In a large no-stick skillet, begin heating the milk, margarine and chicken stock over medium heat.
- Whisk in the flour right away, eliminating all lumps, and as it comes to a boil, it should thicken.
- Add the salt and pepper. (Black pepper is okay as a substitute).
- As it thickens, toss in the chopped turkey and stir carefully as to not break up the chunks too much.
- If it gets too thick, just add some milk and stir.
- As soon as the mix is thick enough to your liking, it is done. Turn off the heat and cover until serving.
- Serve over slices of toast or, make up some of your favorite biscuits instead.
- If you have some left-over turkey broth from the day before when the turkey was baked, use that instead of chicken stock.
- Note: the more dark meat, the better. It really adds to the flavor of this dish.
CREAMY TURKEY STEW
This is a variation on a recipe from Ontario Turkey. We like our version much better. The difference is poultry seasoning, no wine, and starting with cooked leftover turkey. We usually make a double batch and it never lasts very long.

Steps:
- Rinse turkey inside and out and pat dry. Put turkey on rack in roasting pan and season inside and out with 1 tablespoon salt and 2 teaspoons pepper. Fold neck skin under body, then tuck wing tips under breast and tie drumsticks together with string. Let stand at room temperature 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 450°F with rack in lower third.
- Add 1 cup water to pan and roast, without basting, rotating pan halfway through, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into fleshy part of each thigh (test both; do not touch bone) registers 165 to 170°F, 1 3/4 to 2 hours total.
- Carefully tilt turkey so juices from inside large cavity run into pan. Transfer turkey to a platter (reserve juices in roasting pan) and let rest, uncovered, 30 minutes (temperature of thigh meat will rise to 170 to 175°F). Discard string.
- Make gravy while turkey rests:
- Strain pan juices through a fine-mesh sieve into 2-quart measure and skim off fat (or use a fat separator), reserving fat. Straddle roasting pan across 2 burners, then add remaining 1 1/2 cups water and deglaze pan by boiling over high heat, stirring and scraping up brown bits, 1 minute. Strain through sieve into measuring cup containing pan juices. Add enough turkey giblet stock to pan juices to bring total to 5 cups.
- Put 5 tablespoons reserved fat (if there is less, add melted butter) in a 4-quart heavy saucepan and whisk in flour. Cook roux over medium heat, whisking, 3 minutes. Add stock mixture in a fast stream, whisking constantly, then add cream, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper. Bring to a boil, whisking, then stir in any turkey juices from platter and simmer 5 minutes.
- Serve turkey with gravy.

- Serve the turkey in cream sauce over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.
