Recipe: Blanquette of Turkey

BLANQUETTE OF TURKEY

Think of a blanquette as a "white stew." This is a great way to use up leftover turkey.

3 Tablespoons Butter
1 Onion, diced
2 Carrots, diced
2 stalks Celery, diced
3 Tablespoons Flour
4 cups Chicken broth
1 pound Turkey, cooked, large dice
2 Tablespoons Parsley, chopped
1/2 teaspoon Thyme
Salt and pepper to taste

Melt the butter in a heavy soup pot. Add the onions, carrots, and celery. Cook until just soft. Whisk in the flour and cook 5 minutes. Add the broth and stir until well mixed. Bring to just under a boil. Add the remaining ingredients, reduce the heat and simmer 45 minutes. Serve warm.

Serves 6-8
