Curried Ham and Turkey(Usda)

1/2 cup butter, margarine -- or turkey fat

1 cup unsifted flour

2 1/4 teaspoons salt

1/8 teaspoon pepper

1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder

4 teaspoons sweet pepper flakes

1 tablespoon instant miced onions

2 1/4 quarts hot milk

1 1/4 pounds cooked turkey -- diced (4 cups)

3/4 pound cooked ham -- diced (2 cups)

Line four 8x8x2-inch baking pans with heat-resistant freezer wrap. Allow= enough extra wrap to fold over top. Use one pan for each six servings or= one-fourth of the recipe. Do not line pans for food to be served without= freezing.

TO SERVE WITHOUT FREEZING: Heat to serving temperature after turkey and ham= are stirred into hot mixture. Serve over hot toast or biscuits.

TO FREEZE: Pour each fourth of the mixture to be frozen into a baking pan. = Pack food tightly to avoid air pockets. Cool for 30 minutes at room= temperature.

Fold ends of freezer wrap over the top and seal with freezer= tape. Label with name of food, date of freezing, and last date the food= should be used for best eating quality (about 6 months). Freeze= immediately for 10 to 12 hours before removing packages from the pans.
