This is a must have side dish for both Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner in my house. I prepare it the night before and bake it after I take the turkey out of the oven.

    Peel onions, cut into 1/4 inch slices. Separate into rings.

    Cover with milk and let stand 30 minutes. Drain thoroughly.

    Return sliced mushrooms to the pan. Add flour and cook, stirring constantly about 2 minutes, until smooth. Slowly add chicken broth while stirring. Simmer, stirring often, until thickened. Add nutmeg and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning, if need be.
