Turkey a al King is a great way to use your left over Thanksgiving turkey. It’s not a casserole but it is still comfort food. Because it only takes 30 minutes to prepare you can hit all the Black Friday sales and make a great lunch or dinner when you get home.

You don’t have to wait until Thanksgiving to enjoy this dish. Just pick up a package of turkey breast cutlets or chicken breasts and pop them in the oven. While they are baking make up the rest of the recipe. In no time at all you’ll have a great dinner.

The college my husband went to made Turkey a la King and he remembered it as being gross. So I was worried he’d dislike my version too. After a couple bites he said it was really good. BUT, the proof was the HUGE second helping he ate.

One of the best things about Turkey a la King is that you can serve it over rice, noodles, or biscuits. I prefer rice because I really like rice. But it’s delicious no matter how you serve it. Plus if you have little ones around this dish allows you to sneak in a few extra veggies.

Turkey a la King is quickly becoming on of my favorite comfort foods. It’s creamy and full of comforting flavors. If you’re looking for a quick and inexpensive way to shake up your dinner routine be sure to give Turkey a la King a try.

Thank you so much for reading! Are you following New South Charm on Facebook? I’d love to hear from you; drop by and say hello!

 

Happy Cooking Y’all!

    This sounds delicious! We always had as kids but served on buttered toast. I noticed you had chicken broth in there twice, is it 1 cup or 2

      A typo! I’m sorry about that it is only one cup of broth.

      Thanks!
