Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup diced onion
  • 1 cup diced carrots
  • 1 cup diced celery
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • Fresh black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • 23 cups cooked, shredded turkey or chicken
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/3 cup dry sherry
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups cooked white, brown or wild rice
  • Fresh chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
