Ingredients

  • 2 slices bread, or more as needed

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • ½ cup milk

  • ½ cup chicken broth

  • 2 cups diced cooked turkey

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

  • ¼ teaspoon dried rosemary

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 1 egg, beaten

Directions

  1. Place bread in a blender and blend until soft crumbs form. Place bread crumbs in a shallow bowl.

  2. Heat butter in a saucepan over medium heat until melted. Stir flour into melted butter until dissolved. Mix milk and broth into butter-flour mixture; cook and stir until mixture is thick, about 5 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and cool mixture.

  3. Mix turkey, parsley, rosemary, salt, and pepper into cooled mixture. Form turkey mixture into balls. Place balls on a plate and refrigerate until chilled, at least 3 hours.

  4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
