INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter, more for brushing
  •  Salt
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • ¾ pound mixed fresh mushrooms, halved and thinly sliced
  • 2 shallots, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • ½ teaspoon thyme leaves
  • 5 ounces baby spinach, coarsely chopped
  • 1 ½ cups shredded leftover turkey meat
  • ¾ cup crème fraîche
  • 2 tablespoons snipped chives
  • ½ cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
  •  Freshly ground pepper to taste
  • Freshly grated nutmeg to taste




PREPARATION
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, milk, 1/2 cup water, eggs, 2 tablespoons butter and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cover and let stand for at least 1 hour.
  2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat olive oil. Add mushrooms, season with salt and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until browned and tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in shallots, garlic and thyme and cook over medium heat for 1 minute. Add spinach and cook, stirring, until wilted, about 1 minute. Remove skillet from heat and stir in turkey, crème fraîche, chives and 1/4 cup cheese. Season well with salt, pepper and nutmeg
  3. Lightly brush an 8-inch skillet with melted butter and heat over medium heat. Whisk batter and add 2 to 3 tablespoons to skillet, swirling to coat bottom. Cook until edge begins to brown, about 30 seconds. Flip using a thin-bladed spatula and cook 20 seconds. Slide onto a plate and repeat with remaining batter, stacking crepes as cooked.
  4. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Brush bottom of 2 large gratin dishes with melted butter. Spread 3 tablespoons filling over half of each crepe, then fold other half over filling and fold into quarters to form a triangle. Arrange crepes slightly overlapping in gratin dishes. Scatter leftover filling over top. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup cheese. Bake until edges are crisp and filling is hot, 15 to 20 minutes.
