• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/4 cup flour
• 3 cups low-fat milk
• 1 cup fat-free chicken broth 
• 1/2  cup dry white wine (or additional chicken broth)
• 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 2 cups diced, cooked turkey breast (1/2 inch dice)
• 1/3 cup frozen peas
• 1/2 cup shredded, reduced-fat Cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.   Spray a shallow two to three-quart baking dish with cooking spray; set aside.

In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and stir in flour.  Cook, stirring constantly, about 2 minutes.  Whisk in milk, chicken broth, wine and pepper (optional); bring mixture to a boil.  Stir in mushrooms, reduce heat and cook, stirring frequently about 10 minutes or until mixture thickens and mushrooms are softened.
