Poultry Patties

• 2 ounces butter
• 2 ounces plain flour
• 5 fluid ounces good concentrated chicken stock
• 5 fluid ounces milk
• 4 ounces cooked turkey or 4 ounces chicken, minced or finely chopped
• 1 ounce cooked ham, minced or finely chopped
• 3 -4 sprigs parsley, chopped
• 1 egg, hard boiled,chopped
• salt
• fresh ground pepper
• plain flour
• 1 egg, beaten
• dried breadcrumbs
• oil, for frying

1. Melt the butter in a good heavy-based saucepan.
2. Stir in the flour and let it bubble for a few moments, then start adding the chicken stock gradually, stirring until smooth between each addition.
3. Add the milk, just enough to make a sauce that has the consistency of a paste.
4. Stir in the turkey, ham, parsley, hard-boiled egg and seasoning.
5. When these ingredients are thoroughly mixed in and the sauce is seasoned to your liking, spread the mixture just over 2 cm ( 1/2 inch) thick on an oiled plate and let it get quite cold in the refrigerator.
6. Cut into 4 cm (1 1/2 inch) squares, dip them first in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs and fry in plenty of oil- not deep fat but about 2 cm ( 1/2 inch) deep- in a frying pan- turning them over once, so that they are golden brown all over.
7. Serve hot, well drained, with a green salad, and fresh tomato sauce.
