Turkey Crepes

This was my favorite way to use the leftover turkey after Thanksgiving. I can tell this is my mom's recipe, because it is not step by step, kind of vague. Great way to use up some of the dark meat.

Crepes:

2 L eggs
1 1/3 cup milk
1 1/2 cup flour
1/4 tsp salt

Mix in blender. Then cook. Or go buy pre-made crepes.

Inside crepes:

Browned onion, 2 1/2 cups turkey, parsley and a little can of cream of chicken soup. Wrap up a little of this mixture in each crepe.

Then mix soup and milk and put on top.

Bake 20 minutes at 350 degrees.

Dumplings

drop kind

1 2/3 cup flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup milk

Once the dumplings rise to the top-cook 10 minuted uncovered, then 10 minutes cover (do not lift cover).

I was typing this and realized there was no other directions to this. I will have to find out. If I recall I cooked a chicken in chicken broth, removed bones, placed chicken back into broth and then dropped dumplings in by the spoonful.
