LEFTOVER ESSENTIALS: TURKEY A LA KING



Leftover Essentials: Turkey A La King image

This is an excellent recipe for using up some of that leftover turkey. I am not sure if you can actually call this an A La King; however, that was the name that struck me, as I was assembling it. It is fairly easy to make, and only takes about 30 minutes from kitchen to table. FYI: This makes a brilliant filling for a turkey...

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 22

PLAN/PURCHASE
1 Tbsp sweet butter, unsalted
1 Tbsp olive oil, extra virgin
8 oz white or brown button mushrooms, sliced
1 stalk(s) celery, chopped
1/2 c yellow onion, chopped
1 c chicken or turkey stock, not broth, or an equal amount of leftover turkey gravy
3 Tbsp flour, all-purpose variety
1 c coconut milk, or regular milk
2 1/2 c leftover turkey (white or dark), cubed
1 c peas, frozen variety
1 large carrot, peeled and diced
salt, kosher variety, to taste
white pepper, freshly ground, to taste
ADDITIONAL ITEMS
long-grain white rice, for serving
OPTIONAL SPICES
cayenne pepper
fresh tarragon leaves
black pepper, freshly ground
flat-leaf parsley, freshly chopped
thyme, freshly chopped

Steps:

  • 1. PREP/PREPARE
  • 2. Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
  • 3. Add the butter and olive oil to a large skillet, over medium heat.
  • 4. When the butter melts, give the pan a swirl, and add the mushrooms, celery, and yellow onion.
  • 5. Cook the veggies, stirring often, until they have softened, about 6 - 8 minutes.
  • 6. Chef's Tip: You might want to add a pinch of salt to the ingredients, to get the cooking process started.
  • 7. In a small bowl, whisk the flour and chicken stock together.
  • 8. Chef's Tip: If you have any leftover turkey gravy this is the perfect dish for it. Just substitute the gravy for the chicken or turkey stock, and reduce the amount of flour to one tablespoon. So yummy.
  • 9. Add the liquid to the veggies and stir to combine.
  • 10. Add the milk.
  • 11. Allow the ingredients to simmer until thickened, about 3 - 4 minutes.
  • 12. Chef's Tip: Do not allow the pan to come up to a boil... Just a nice simmer.
  • 13. Add the turkey, peas and carrots.
  • 14. Simmer until the carrots begin to soften, about 5 - 7 minutes.
  • 15. Chef's Note: As the pan is simmering, add a bit of salt and white pepper, to taste. And possibly some of the other spices that I suggested. Make it as spicy, or bland as you wish... After all... You are the chef :-)
  • 16. PLATE/PRESENT
  • 17. Serve over a pile of steaming long-grain white rice. Enjoy.
  • 18. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
