Making Turkey Divan w/o the canned soup?

[Faithr]

If you have lots of leftover turkey and wanted to make Turkey Divan but sans the canned cream of chicken soup, what would you use to replace it? I haven't made it in years and I've since stopped using canned soup because of the MSG. Could I do something with chicken broth and cream???

A nice white sauce

It is easily doubled if you need to.
