Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked turkey, shredded or diced
• 2 cups mixed frozen vegetables (carrots, peas, corn, green beans)
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups milk
• 1 cup chicken or turkey broth
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 2

Once the butter is melted, whisk in the flour, stirring constantly to create a smooth roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove any raw flour taste.

Step 3

Gradually stir in the milk and broth, whisking continually to prevent lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 4

Season the sauce with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 5

Add the shredded or diced turkey and the frozen mixed vegetables to the creamy sauce. Stir to combine evenly.

Step 6

Lower the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are heated through and tender.

Step 7

Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.

Step 8

Serve hot over rice, mashed potatoes, biscuits, or enjoy it on its own as a hearty dish.
