Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 small onion diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 1/4 cup flour
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 and 1/2 cups half and half
- 3 russet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 3 carrots, peeled and diced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
- 4 cups shredded leftover turkey meat
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large Dutch oven, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add onion and celery and season with a pinch of salt. Saute for about 2 minutes, stirring often.
- Sprinkle the flour over the onion and celery and cook for about one minute, stirring constantly.
- Pour in the broth, half and half, potatoes, carrots, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the carrots and potatoes are soft.

Notes
Doubling or tripling instructions: (I highly recommend doubling this recipe, especially if you have a lot of leftovers.)
Cook the onion and celery (in the butter) in a 12-inch deep-sided skillet so the onion can properly brown. While that’s cooking, fill a large stock pot with the chicken broth, half and half, fresh herbs, potatoes and carrots, and set over medium-high heat. After cooking the flour into the onion and celery, empty it into the stock pot and whisk it in. Bring to a boil, cover, and follow the rest of the recipe as written.
