INGREDIENTS

2 t. olive or vegetable oil
1 medium onion, chopped (about 3/4 c.)
4 c. low-sodium chicken broth
1 1/4 lbs. cooked turkey breast, cooked w/out salt, skin and all visible fat removed
1/4 c. water
2 T. all-purpose flour

6 medium carrots, coarsely chopped (about 4 c.)
1 t. salt-free poultry seasoning (such as Bell’s)

1/2 t. garlic powder
1/4 to 1/2 t. freshly ground black pepper, to taste
6 medium potatoes, coarsely chopped (about 5 c.)

DIRECTIONS

Place a stockpot over medium-high heat. Add the oil. Add onion and saute 2 to 3 minutes, until translucent. Add broth and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, cut turkey into bite-size pieces and set aside.

In a small bowl, whisk together the water and flour. Once broth is boiling, add to pot and cook for 5 minutes, until broth begins to thicken, whisking constantly.

Add turkey, celery, carrots, poultry seasoning, bay leaf and pepper, and stir to combine. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and cook 15 minutes, until heated through.

Add potatoes and cook, covered, 30 minutes, until vegetables are tender. Stir occasionally.

Stir in frozen mixed vegetables and cook for 5 minutes. Remove bay leaf before serving. Serve immediately.
