Instructions

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a pot over low heat. Sauté onion, celery, and carrot for 5 mins.
Add garlic, sage, and thyme, cooking for another 30 seconds.
Sprinkle flour over the vegetables, mixing well, and cook for 2-3 mins to form a roux.
Gradually pour in turkey stock while whisking. Add bay leaves and bring to a simmer.
Add diced potatoes, shredded turkey, and frozen vegetables. Simmer for 15 mins until vegetables are tender.
Stir in cream and heat until bubbling. Season with salt and pepper before serving.

Notes

Whisk flour thoroughly to avoid lumps in the chowder.
For a richer texture, blend part of the chowder and mix it back in.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
