1/4 teaspoon pepper ground
2 cups cheddar cheese (shredded)

Instructions

In large, non–stick skillet, heat oil over medium high heat.
Brown turkey until fully cooked, breaking into small pieces with a wooden spoon. Transfer to plate.
In large saucepan, melt butter over medium high heat.
Stir in onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in garlic and cook just until fragrant, but not browned, about one minute.
Whisk in flour, and cook until it combines with the flour in a thick paste, about one minute.
Continue whisking and slowly pour in milk.
Bring to boil and reduce heat to maintain a simmer, whisking often, until sauce is thick, about 10 minutes.
