Turkey Chowder

Description: I tried this chowder after an ice skating party, and when I went back for more it was long gone. It is rich and creamy and absolutely melts in your mouth. It is expected and devoured at every family gathering I have, there is never any left over, and always people asking for more.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup finely chopped green onion
• 1 cup finely chopped carrot
• 1 cup finely chopped celery
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1/4 cup flour
• 2 cups turkey broth or 2 cups chicken bouillon
• 2 cups half-and-half
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon white pepper
• 1 dash cayenne pepper
• 2 cups diced cooked turkey (canned turkey works just as well, I use about four of those "tunafish" sized cans)

Steps:

1. Saute onions, carrots, celery in butter until soft but not brown.
2. Blend in flour.
3. Gradually stir in broth, then half& half.
4. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens.
5. Stir in salt, pepper, cayenne, and turkey.
6. Stir a few minutes until turkey is heated through.
7. Devour!
