Leftover Turkey in Gravy Recipe
Description
The Leftover Turkey in Gravy Recipe starts with cooking finely chopped onions and sliced mushrooms until golden and soft in olive oil. These vegetables are then set aside while butter is melted and flour is whisked into it to form a roux, cooked until golden brown. Chicken broth is gradually added to the roux to form a smooth gravy base, which is seasoned with salt and black pepper. The cooked mushrooms, onions, and torn leftover turkey pieces are incorporated and heated through gently to meld flavors. This method results in a thick, creamy gravy coating the tender turkey and earthy mushrooms.
The gravy can be served alongside mashed potatoes, rice, or vegetables, making it a versatile way to repurpose turkey leftovers in a warm, satisfying dish. Fresh parsley adds a bright finishing touch.
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb mushrooms sliced
- 1 onion finely chopped, small
- 4 Tbsp butter unsalted
- 3 Tbsp all-purpose flour gluten free flour works well too
- 1 1/2 to 2 cups chicken broth (low sodium)
- 4-6 Cups turkey meat torn into bite-sized pieces, leftover
- 1/2 tsp salt or to taste, sea salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper or to taste, ground
- 1 Tbsp parsley optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Add 2 Tbsp olive oil and diced onions and sauté until soft and golden (4-5 minutes, stirring frequently). Add mushrooms to the pan and sauté until soft and golden (5-7 min, stirring frequently). Remove mushrooms and onions from pan.
- In the same hot pan (no need to wash it), add 4 Tbsp unsalted butter. Once melted, whisk in 3 Tbsp flour. Cook, whisking continually until roux is a golden brown (1 1/2 to 2 min) then whisk in 2 cups chicken broth. Bring to a simmer and season to taste (I added 1/2 tsp sea salt and a pinch of black pepper).
- Add add mushrooms/onions back to the pan. Stir in turkey and heat until turkey is just heated through. Garnish with finely chopped parsley if desired.
