Merry Christmas!

I am so excited mainly because of Christmas but also because this means that there is merely a week before I get to see him!

Last night was superb. After helping my grandma do some last-minute grocery shopping, we ran back home to stick the turkey in the oven.

We cheated this year by using an already-stuffed Butterball, but I’m not complaining. It was absolutely delicious, moist, etc.

Obviously we rubbed it with butter and spices beforehand though, to make it more delectable =). And added potatoes etc on the side.

It was an altogether lovely dinner.

But obviously we woke up today to huge amounts of turkey

and so for brunch I made these turkey-filled crepes which were actually delicious!

Ingredients:

Crepes (2):
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup flour
1 egg
salt, pepper to taste

Sauce+ Filling:
1 cup turkey, diced
1 tbsp butter
2 1/2 tbsps flour
1 egg yolk
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup milk
1/8 cup milk

Preheat oven to 350 F

Whisk together ingredients for crepe, heat a pan to medium heat and pour a thin layer onto the pan. Wait until air bubbles form within the crepe before flipping and setting aside.

Heat butter in saucepan, and then stir in flour until combined. Whisk in 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 cup chicken broth. Take out 1 tbsp of the hot milk broth mixture and combine with the egg yolk in a seperate bowl before pouring back into the saucepan.

Combine 1/2 the sauce with the diced turkey. Stuff crepes with turkey mixture, and place seam-side down into a baking dish.

Thin the remaining sauce with 1/8 cup milk, stir until thickened. Pour over crepes in baking dish, and bake for 15 minutes.

Serve with fresh ground peppercorn.

…We enjoyed them immensely. They were flavoruful, but took quite a long time to prepare. Perfect for a leisurely brunch, not so much for everyday breakfast though.

yum, yum, yum.
