5. Add onions and garlic to frying pan; cook, stirring often, until onions are soft, about 5 minutes.

8. Lift turkey from baking pan and arrange in a serving dish.

9. Measure reserved flour mixture and blend with an equal amount of cold water; stir into pan juices. Cook, stirring, until sauce boils and thickens.

10. Spoon some of the sauce over turkey; pour remainder in a small serving dish and offer to spoon over individual servings.
