Ingredients:
2 ounces butter
2 ounces plain flour
5 fluid ounces good concentrated chicken stock
5 fluid ounces milk
4 ounces cooked turkey or 4 ounces chicken, minced or finely chopped
1 ounce cooked ham, minced or finely chopped
3 -4 sprigs parsley, chopped
1 eggs, hard boiled,chopped
salt
fresh ground pepper
plain flour
1 eggs, beaten
dried breadcrumbs
oil, for frying
Directions:
Melt the butter in a good heavy-based saucepan.
Stir in the flour and let it bubble for a few moments, then start adding the chicken stock gradually, stirring until smooth between each addition.
Add the milk, just enough to make a sauce that has the consistency of a paste.
Stir in the turkey, ham, parsley, hard-boiled egg and seasoning.
When these ingredients are thoroughly mixed in and the sauce is seasoned to your liking, spread the mixture just over 2 cm ( 1/2 inch) thick on an oiled plate and let it get quite cold in the refrigerator.
Cut into 4 cm (1 1/2 inch) squares, dip them first in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs and fry in plenty of oil- not deep fat but about 2 cm ( 1/2 inch) deep- in a frying pan- turning them over once, so that they are golden brown all over.
Serve hot, well drained, with a green salad, and fresh tomato sauce.
