Quick Turkey a la King (the absolute best dish for using up Thanksgiving leftover turkey)

Materials:
  • 2 Tbsp. butter
  • 1 small onion
  • 1/2 c. chopped red or green pepper
  • 1 Tbsp. flour
  • 1 c. milk
  • 1 (10 oz) can of condensed cream of mushroom soup (the garlic version is great)
  • 2-3 c. cooked chicken or turkey
  • Salt and pepper, to taste  
  • Texas Toast (or Noodles or Rice)
Methods:
  1. Saute green/red pepper and onion in butter until tender.
  2. Dust flour overtop, then slowly stir in milk. 
  3. Add cream of mushroom soup.
  4. Heat slowly, stirring constantly.
  5. Add the remaining ingredients. Cook 10min longer.
  6. Serve overtop of buttered toast.
Yield: ~5 servings

PS - I *might* have crossed the border several times smuggling frozen turkey in order to make this dish. I always hope I don't run into any search dogs - they'd think it was quite the find!
