Love that Turkey a la King
Now that we’ve celebrated Thanksgiving, it’s time for leftovers and what beats Turkey a la King? Supposedly, this dish was created in the late 1800’s by a New York hotel and named after an equestrian family with the name Keene . The dish was originally called “a la Keene ” which later took hold as “a la King.”
This is probably one of those basic ‘everyone has made it’ kind of dishes but, it is so good. It is a creamy sauce with turkey, pimento and mushrooms served over biscuits. Rice, noodles or toast could be topped with it also. It turns turkey into a sumptuous dish that uses up the leftovers and is a nice change from casseroles.
This one fits the bill for comfort food! It’s a rich creamy dish fit for a king and everyone else. Make your whole family smile with Turkey a la King!
