This year I shot my first turkey. I made thai turkey noodles for my first dish and have kept the rest in the freezer. As I am participating in a thing called the 12 Soups of Christmas I decided to use up my turkey breasts and make a chowder. Delicious.
Wild Turkey Chowder (serves 3)
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 1 cup diced carrots
- 2 potatoes, diced
- 1/8 tsp each garlic & onion powder
- 1/4tsp salt plus more to taste
- 1 tsp thyme
- 1 tsp oregano
- black pepper to taste
- 12 oz vegetable broth
- 12 oz milk
- 2 tbsp flour
- 8oz wild turkey breast, silver skin removed, cut into 1in pieces seasoned with small amount of salt, pepper, onion, & garlic powder
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp shaky parmesan
Heat butter in large stock pot. Brown turkey on all sides, remove, & set aside. Add onion, potatoes, & carrots and cook until potatoes begin to become softened, about 10 minutes. Add turkey back to pot. Add vegetable stock & seasonings and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, & simmer for about 20 minutes until vegetables are tender. Add the milk to the flour to create a slurry & then add to the pot. Bring to a boil while stirring. Reduce heat to a simmer for about 15 minutes or until thickened to desired consistency. Serve with bread & enjoy.
