*Mama's Kitchen* Take 4: Turkey...Oh, the possibilities!

Pin It

Burrr! A welcomed cold front has finally hit Central Florida helping it feel a little more like Fall! I love the changing of the seasons and enjoy the comfort foods that go along with it.
Tonight is Take 4 on our turkey and it fits the season perfectly, Turkey & Rice Stew.

Ingredients:
- 1 lb of shredded cooked turkey (still leftovers!)
- 4 cups of vegetable broth
- 2 cups of water
- 1 cup diced carrots
- 1 cup diced celery
- 1 box Rice a Roni Long Grain & Wild Rice
- 1/2 cup butter
- 3/4 cup flour
- 2 cups of half & half
- 1 tbsp salt
- 1 tbsp pepper

First, in a large pot stir in the turkey with the broth, water, carrots, celery, and Rice a Roni (seasoning as well).
Boil for about 30-40 minutes.

 Mix the flour with the salt and pepper.

In a sauce pan, melt the butter on medium heat and slowly add the flour mixture followed by slowly adding the half & half.

 Finally, add the contents of the sauce pan into the larger pot and simmer for about 10-15 mintues.

Enjoy! Happy Veteran's Day!
Stay Warm :)

Stay tuned for the Final Take Tomorrow!
