Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 1 carrot peeled and finely chopped
- 1 celery finely chopped, rib
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sherry or dry white wine (see note 1)
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth (see note 2)
- 2 cups turkey cut into 1-inch pieces (see note 3, cooked
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup peas frozen
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice from 1 lemon
- salt freshly ground
- black pepper freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons parsley minced, for garnish (optional, fresh
- Biscuits for serving
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil until shimmering. Add onion, carrot, and celery and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in flour and cook 1 minute. Add wine and cook until thickened, scraping up any browned bits, about 1 minute. Stir in the broth and cream. Cook until the sauce is very thick, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in turkey, peas, and lemon juice. Reduce heat to simmer and cook, stirring frequently, until turkey is heated through, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, season to taste with salt and pepper, and garnish with parsley if desired. Serve on toasted bread or biscuits.
Notes
- Sherry: Or substitute a light-bodied dry white (such as sauvignon blanc or pinot grigio) that you enjoy drinking. Use more broth instead of the wine, if you prefer.
- Chicken broth: Make your own chicken broth or use store-bought. Or substitute turkey broth, if you have it.
- Turkey: Leftover roasted turkey or substitute cooked chicken.
- Yield: This recipe makes about 6 cups of Turkey ala King, enough for 6 servings of 1 cup each.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
