Delicious anytime, but perfect on a cold winter's night. One of our family favourites from the 1986 Manitoba Milk calendar. Ingredients:
1/3 cup margarine |

1/4 cup flour |
1 cup chicken stock |
2 cups milk |
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme |
1/4 teaspoon tabasco sauce |
4 cups diced turkey (or chicken) |
1/4 cup diced pimento (or red pepper) |
2 1/2 cups frozen mixed vegetables |
1 cup all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (or 1/2 tsp. dried) |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill (or 1/2 tsp. dried) |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/3 cup margarine, cold |
1/2 cup milk, cold |
