Ingredients
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 small onion diced
- 1 stalk celery diced
- 2 large carrots peeled and diced
- 8 oz baby bella mushrooms sliced
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 1 cup half and half
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
- ½ tsp kosher salt plus more to taste
- ½ tsp Italian seasoning
- ¼ tsp black pepper to taste
- 2 cups cooked turkey cubed
- 1 cup frozen peas
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion, and saute for 4 to 5 minutes until softened.
- Add the celery, carrots and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Season the veggies with a small pinch of salt and saute for another 4 to 5 minutes, until the mushrooms start to soften. Remove the veggies from the skillet and set aside.
- Pour the chicken stock into the skillet and scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat.
- Whisk together the cornstarch with the half and half to form a slurry. When the stock is simmering, slowly pour the slurry into the skillet, stirring constantly, until the sauce forms a creamy gravy that is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Season with Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.
- Add the cooked veggies, cubed turkey, and frozen peas to the skillet and stir to combine. Stir over medium-low heat for about 4 to 5 minutes, until the peas and turkey are warmed through. Season with salt and pepper, if needed. Serve over cooked biscuits, rice or mashed potatoes.
