Family Favorites...Creamed Turkey Over Rice

Here’s a way to dress up that old favorite – creamed turkey.  This only took as long as it did to cook the rice; as your turkey is already cooked.  You can use any cooked or canned poultry, or ham for that matter – a good way to use up holiday extras.   You can’t go wrong with simple – everyone will like this.
