Chicken or Turkey Crepes with Tarragon

By: SHODGIN 
"I've made these for years, and it's a great way to use leftover chicken or turkey! If you're not in the mood for tarragon, just use your favorite spices! Prepare a basic crepe recipe in advance. Crepes can be made and frozen up to several weeks ahead of time."

Original Recipe Yield 12 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 3 recipes Basic Crepes
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • 1/4 teaspoon chopped dried tarragon
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 2 cups diced cooked chicken
  • salt to taste
  • 1/4 cup milk

Directions

  1. Prepare a basic crepe recipe in advance. Crepes can be made and frozen up to several weeks ahead of time.
  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  3. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in onion, and cook 2 minutes. Stir in flour until blended. Slowly whisk in 1 cup milk, whisking constantly until smooth. Mix in broth, wine, and tarragon; stir over medium-low heat until thickened (about 4 minutes).
  4. In a small bowl, gradually stir 3 tablespoons of the hot milk and broth sauce into the egg yolks; then pour egg mixture into sauce, whisking briskly. Cook 1 minute more, then remove from heat.
  5. In a medium bowl, mix together half of the sauce with the chicken. Season with salt to taste.
  6. Fill each crepe with 3 tablespoons of chicken mixture. Roll crepes, and place seam-side down in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Thin the remaining sauce with 1/4 cup milk, and pour over crepes.
  7. Bake in a preheated oven 20 minutes, or until sauce begins to bubble.
