Ingredients

  • 1 cup baby carrots, halved lengthwise
  • 1 cup julienned parsnips
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon white pepper
  • 4 cups fat-free milk
  • 3 cups diced cooked turkey breast

Directions

  • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the carrots, parsnips and water; cover and microwave on high for 4-5 minutes or until tender. Drain and set aside.

I've made this twice now, and each time seems more flavorful. In place of cake flour I use all-purpose flour, sifting 3 times before making the biscuits.
