Turkey Florentine
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
1 cup milk
1/2 cup cream
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
3 tablespoons chopped onions
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 pounds spinach, cooked and chopped
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
Sliced cooked turkey, enough for 6 servings
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Melt the butter in a saucepan, add the flour and stir with a wire whisk
until blended. Meanwhile bring the milk and cream to a boil and add
all at once to the butter-flour mixture, stirring vigorously with the
whisk until the sauce is thickened and smooth. Season with salt and
pepper.
In a skillet sauté the onions in the oil until wilted. Add the spinach
and sauté briefly until the moisture has evaporated. Add the nutmeg
and 1/2 cup of the sauce. Heat thoroughly but do not let boil.
Spoon the spinach onto a warm heat proof platter and arrange the
sliced turkey on top. Stir a little Parmesan cheese into the remaining
sauce and spoon over the turkey slices. Sprinkle with additional
Parmesan cheese, dot with additional butter and brown lightly
under the broiler. Serves about 6.
