Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Cooked turkey
- 1 Green bell pepper, diced
- 1 Red bell pepper, diced
- 2 medium Carrots, thinly sliced
- 1 cup Frozen peas
- 1 can (10.5 oz) Cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
- 4 servings Cooked white rice, egg noodles, or puff pastry shells (for serving)
Instructions
Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Melt the butter and sauté the onion and garlic until soft and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
Sprinkle the flour over the sautéed onion and garlic mixture, stirring constantly to form a roux. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth while stirring to create a smooth, thick sauce. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a crock pot, layer the cooked turkey, diced green and red bell peppers, sliced carrots, and frozen peas.
Add the cream of chicken soup, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and dried thyme. Stir to combine.
Pour the roux mixture from the skillet into the crock pot, and gently stir it into the other ingredients.
Cover the crock pot and cook on LOW for 4 hours or on HIGH for 2 hours, stirring occasionally to ensure an even consistency.
Once cooked, taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired before serving.
Serve hot over cooked white rice, egg noodles, or in puff pastry shells for a classic presentation.
