Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked turkey, shredded or diced
- 2 cups mixed frozen vegetables (carrots, peas, corn, green beans)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup chicken or turkey broth
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium-sized skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Once the butter is melted, whisk in the flour, stirring constantly to create a smooth roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove any raw flour taste.
Gradually stir in the milk and broth, whisking continually to prevent lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
Season the sauce with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Add the shredded or diced turkey and the frozen mixed vegetables to the creamy sauce. Stir to combine evenly.
Lower the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are heated through and tender.
Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve hot over rice, mashed potatoes, biscuits, or enjoy it on its own as a hearty dish.
