Turkey Chowder
Recipe from Cory Morris, Executive Chef, Nacional 27
Serves: 6
INGREDIENTS
1 cup white onions, diced
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
½ lb butter + 2 tablespoons

1 tablespoon fresh thyme, stems removed and chopped
1 cup flour
2 quarts milk

METHOD
- In a 6 quart stock pot, sauté the onions in 2 tablespoons of butter until soft over medium heat.
- Add garlic and cook until lightly brown and fragrant. Add chopped sage and thyme and cook for one minute. Add remaining butter, turn heat to low and cook until butter is melted.
- Add flour and stir until smooth. Cook over low heat for 5 minutes stirring frequently until flour is golden brown. Next, slowly whisk in the milk and stir until smooth.
