Turkey ala King

Put your leftover turkey (or chicken!) to work in this easy Turkey ala King recipe. It’s comfort food at its finest: tender chunks of roasted turkey, peas, carrots, celery, all simmered in a white wine cream sauce, and it’s absolutely delicious.

Ingredients :
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion finely chopped
  • 1 carrot peeled and finely chopped
  • 1 celery rib finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sherry or dry white wine
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups cooked turkey cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice from 1 lemon
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley minced, for garnish
  • Biscuits for serving
Directions :
  1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil until shimmering. Add onion, carrot, and celery and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in flour and cook 1 minute. Add wine and cook until thickened, scraping up any browned bits, about 1 minute. Stir in the broth and cream. Cook until the sauce is very thick, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in turkey, peas, and lemon juice. Reduce heat to simmer and cook, stirring frequently, until turkey is heated through, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, season to taste with salt and pepper, and garnish with parsley if desired. Serve on toasted bread or biscuits.
