Leftover Turkey in Creamy Mushroom Sauce

This leftover Turkey recipe is by far my favorite way to use up leftover turkey! Turkey in creamy mushroom sauce is so easy and a big win in our family!

Serving: 6 servings as a main coarse

Ingredients

• 2 Tbsp olive oil

• 1 lb mushrooms, sliced

• 1 small onion, finely chopped

• 4 Tbsp unsalted Butter

• 3 Tbsp all-purpose flour (gluten free flour works well too)

• 1½ to 2 cups low sodium chicken broth

• Salt and Pepper to taste

• 4-6 Cups leftover turkey meat, torn into bite-sized pieces

• Parsley to garnish, optional

Instructions

1. 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.

2. In the same hot pan (no need to wash it), add 4 Tbsp unsalted butter. Once melted, whisk in 3 Tbsp flour (I used a gluten free flour at my sisters house and it worked just as well!). Cook, whisking continually until youx is a golden brown (1½ to 2 min) then whisk in 2 cups chicken broth. Bring to a simmer and season to taste (I added ½ tsp sea salt and a pinch of black pepper).

3. 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.
