Leftover Turkey Chowder



2 cups turkey (or more if you want/have it), shredded


4 cups chicken broth


3/4 cups cream


1 1/2 cups milk


1 medium onion, chopped


2 carrots, chopped


1 container of shitake mushrooms, chopped


1/2 tbsp chopped garlic


1/2 cup butter


1 box gnocchi, prepared


3 tbsps flour


salt to taste


thyme to taste




Sweat the carrot and onion in the butter over medium heat. Add flour, then chicken broth. Add cream, milk, turkey, garlic and heat.




Prepare gnocchi according to directions (add to water at a rolling boil, cook for about 5 minutes, until they are floating). Add gnocchi and mushrooms, let it cook until mushrooms are tender. Add spices, feel free to add whatever you feel would be appropriate, the thyme is just a suggestion.






Mmm. This was a delicious was to get rid of leftover turkey!
