Ingredients

1 can (14-1/2 ounces) reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 cups diced red potatoes
2 celery ribs, chopped
1 large onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup water
2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/8 teaspoon pepper
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2/3 cup fat-free evaporated milk
3 cups frozen mixed vegetables, thawed and drained
2 cups cubed cooked turkey breast

4 tablespoons fat-free milk, divided
1 tablespoon canola oil
Paprika

Directions

In a large saucepan, combine the first 10 ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
In a small bowl, whisk flour and evaporated milk until smooth; stir into broth mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in vegetables and turkey; heat through. Transfer to an ungreased 8-in. square baking dish.
