2-3 carrots, chopped fine
3 celery stalks, chopped fine
1 large onion, chopped fine
3-4 large cans chicken broth

3/4 - 1 cup flour
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 cup half and half
4 cutlets of Turkey breast, cooked and cubed/shredded into large pieces
1/2 tsp poultry seasoning, if desired (I don't use)

1. Use 1 can chicken broth to cook vegetables and rice in for 25 minutes.

2. In large pot, melt butter then add flour to make a paste. Add two cans of broth to this paste.

3. Add cream of chicken soup; half and half and rice/vegetable mixture.

4. Lastly add cooked turkey and, if desired, poultry seasoning.

½ cup butter
½ cup sugar

Beat for 5 minutes—then stir in:

2 egg yolks

Cover with “lots of apples”( 6-8 cups of cooked apples) that have been almost completely cooked with a small amount of sugar. The exact amount of apples is not important. Mom likes to use a good cooking apple which are in abundance right now!

Beat about 10 minutes

Cover apples with meringue; then sliced almonds . Bake at 315 degrees until brown—about 45 minutes
