Creamed Chicken or Turkey

Here is a great recipe to use up any leftover chicken or turkey. It is great served over egg noodles or rice, I have even topped this on a puff pastry shell, when I have had company over for dinner, and added some cooked mushrooms and peas to the creamed mixture, very easy to prepare and tastes so good, this will be a recipe that you will make time and again.
