Very good. I did add a little more flour. Update: I made this today with about 8 ounces thin sliced deli turkey (cut up some). I also used 1/4 cup flour which I whisked into the cold milk before adding to skillet and 1/2 teaspoon salt was added as well. We loved it!

    I add a couple dashes Worcestershire sauce and some black pepper for a little more seasoning. Goes great over wheat toast or biscuits.

    Yum! I grew up eating this as a dinner. I use a little more flour as we like it thicker. It is wonderful over toast. Thanks.
