- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 1 cup chopped carrots
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 6 cups turkey broth
- 2 cups cooked turkey, shredded or diced
- 2 cups corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 1 cup diced potatoes
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion, celery, and carrots. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
- Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir well. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, to cook out the raw flour taste.
- Gradually whisk in the turkey broth, ensuring no lumps form. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
- Add the cooked turkey, corn kernels, and diced potatoes. Bring back to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Reduce heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream and dried thyme. Heat through for 5 minutes, but do not boil.
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
- For a thicker chowder, you can mash some of the potatoes against the side of the pot.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or green beans.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
