Helen Taft's Turkey Croquettes

1 medium onion, chopped
Salt, pepper & nutmeg, to taste
2 tablespoons Butter
3 tablespoons Flour
1-1/2 cups heavy cream
2 Eggs, beaten

Combine the chopped turkey or chicken with the onion and seasonings. Melt the butter, stir in the flour, and add this to the cream over a low flame before combining the two mixtures. Chill, forming little croquet shapes, roll in egg and then bread crumbs, and fry.
