I found this at the above link, Terri's Recipe Page, her site is one of my favorites, next to Mimi's of course. She was right this is an excellent way to use up leftover turkey or chicken.
2 cups finely diced cooked chicken or turkey
2 tblsp grated or very finely chopped onion
2 tblsp butter
1/3 cup all purpose flour
1 cup milk
salt and pepper to taste
1 tblsp fresh lemon juice
1 tblsp chopped parsley
1 egg, beaten
3/4 cup fresh bread crumbs
oil for frying
Mix together chicken and onion. Melt butter in small saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and stir briskly to make a roux. Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly until thickened and all lumps are dissolved. Cook three minutes but do not brown. Add salt and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool. Stir in chicken mixture, lemon juice, and parsley; combine well. Place in refridgerator until well chilled.
Heat oil in large fry pan over md-high heat. Form chicken mixture into cutlet. Dip each in beaten egg and then in breadcrumbs. Fry until browned on both sides.
