Chicken or Turkey Crepes with Tarragon image

I've made these for years, and it's a great way to use leftover chicken or turkey! If you're not in the mood for tarragon, just use your favorite spices! Prepare a basic crepe recipe in advance. Crepes can be made and frozen up to several weeks ahead of time.

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 recipes Basic Crepes
4 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
¾ cup chicken broth
¼ cup dry white wine
¼ teaspoon chopped dried tarragon
2 egg yolks
2 cups diced cooked chicken
salt to taste
¼ cup milk

Steps:

  • Prepare a basic crepe recipe in advance. Crepes can be made and frozen up to several weeks ahead of time.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in onion, and cook 2 minutes. Stir in flour until blended. Slowly whisk in 1 cup milk, whisking constantly until smooth. Mix in broth, wine, and tarragon; stir over medium-low heat until thickened (about 4 minutes).
  • In a small bowl, gradually stir 3 tablespoons of the hot milk and broth sauce into the egg yolks; then pour egg mixture into sauce, whisking briskly. Cook 1 minute more, then remove from heat.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together half of the sauce with the chicken. Season with salt to taste.
  • Fill each crepe with 3 tablespoons of chicken mixture. Roll crepes, and place seam-side down in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Thin the remaining sauce with 1/4 cup milk, and pour over crepes.
  • Bake in a preheated oven 20 minutes, or until sauce begins to bubble.

Overall, these crepes were good, but not great. I think I would try a different recipe next time.

The filling was a bit dry. I think I would add more sauce next time.

The crepes were a little too thick for my liking. I think I would use less batter next time.

These crepes were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more herbs and spices to the filling next time.

These crepes were easy to make and turned out great. I used a gluten-free flour blend and they still came out light and fluffy.
