Instructions
- Add the butter and olive oil to a dutch oven or large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots and celery and cook for 7-8 minutes until softened. Add the salt, pepper and poultry seasoning to the pot and stir to combine with the vegetables.
- Stir in the cooked turkey, then add the flour, stirring until all the flour is mixed in to the turkey and vegetables. Cook for 1 minute and then pour in the sherry to deglaze. Scrape the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon while stirring the sherry into the vegetables.
