Measurements in the recipe are theirs--I was a little loosey goosey with mine. My chunk of white meat turkey yielded 2 cups not 1 1/2 cups turkey so I wasn't about to try to find another use for the 1/2 cup of meat. Ditto the mushrooms. We enjoyed this very much over noodles but you can put it over rice, biscuits or whatever suits your fancy.
And as a bonus, it's quick and easy to make!
6 TBL butter
2 TBL flour
1 3/4 cups turkey or chicken stock
2 cups sliced mushrooms
1 1/2 cups chopped cooked turkey
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup frozen peas
2 TBL sherry
Salt and pepper to taste
Parsley for garnish if you have some
Cubed cooked turkey
Sliced mushrooms
Melt four TBL butter over medium heat. When it begins to foam, add flour and whisk until the mixture turns approximately the color of straw. Slowly add a cup of stock and continue whisking (I found that a little more than cup made the sauce the perfect consistency so I didn't add the rest.)
Melt butter
Add flour
Cook until the color of straw
Heat remaining 2 TBL butter. Add mushrooms and cook until mushrooms are soft and have yielded their juice. Add the turkey, warm sauce, cream (if you didn't add it to the sauce) and peas. Stir occasionally until mixture is hot and peas are cooked.
Add mushrooms and cook until soft
Add turkey, sauce and peas
Stir in the sherry, adjust seasonings and serve sprinkled with parsley if desired.

The USA Today bestselling author of Unholy Matrimony is back with a new Lucille Mystery! This
time Lucille must track down
the killer of a diet guru who had a lot more to lose than just a few extra
pounds.
With
her best friend Flo’s wedding approaching, Lucille is desperate to trim down
and joins Weigh to Lose, a weight-loss program led by a clipboard-wielding
harridan who’s as unattractively thin as she is shrill. When the bossy woman turns
up dead with her throat slashed and a tasty-looking cannoli stuffed in her
mouth, Lucille figures she got her just desserts.
But when the local police come up empty-handed, Lucille sinks her teeth into the mystery and narrows
the list of suspects to a husband with a wandering eye, a sexy young Swedish au
pair, and a gambler deep in debt to the wrong people. Until one of the suspects
becomes the victim of another gruesome murder.
Afraid
she’s bitten off more than she can chew and worried that she might be next on
the killer’s list, Lucille puts her own neck on the line with a wild plan to trap
the culprit and tip the scales of justice.
“If
you want a very funny murder mystery, then this book is for you. I’ve never
laughed so hard while reading before.” —Goodreads, on Unholy Matrimony, Book 2 in the USA Today bestselling Lucille Mystery

Definitely comfort food! (I may have turkey in the freezer that's been there for years, and I'm not sure what some of those other packages are . . .)
ReplyDeleteThere's an idea for a cooking show! Hand the chefs a bunch of packets of frozen food in aluminum foil and maybe a few frozen plastic containers. They defrost them and voila! Have to make a dish out of whatever mystery contents they find.
DeleteSo far I've opened and thawed one frozen container I thought was applesauce, and it turned out to be turkey stock (I think). Wonder if anyone would want turkey cookies?
DeleteNo, but you have the start of some soup or gravy!
DeleteMy Mom is making turkey soup out of the last frozen carcass this afternoon.
ReplyDeleteI love turkey soup! I may make that tomorrow!
DeleteI love this recipe, Peg! Already printed it out. Hugs and happy New Year. MJ
ReplyDeleteLovely and warming.
ReplyDeleteFor those of us without leftover turkey. a cooked chicken from the market would do nicely so we don't have to miss out!
Yes, chicken would be a great substitute. I will probably try that since we enjoyed this so much.
