• Ingredients: 9
• Serves: 8

ingredients

• 3 1⁄4 cups turkey stock
• 1⁄2 cup butter
• 6 large shallots
• 2 lbs fresh mushrooms, wiped and sliced
• 1 tablespoon chopped thyme
• 1⁄3 cup plain flour
• 1 cup heavy cream
• salt and pepper
• 1 cup chopped parsley

directions

1. Pour the stock into the roasting pan used to roast the turkey and place on top of the stove. Bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits. Remove from the heat.
2. In a large frying pan over a medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the shallots and stir to coat. Add the mushrooms and thyme and saute until the mushrooms just start to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the flour and cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minute. Add the stock and the pan juices and bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
3. Add the cream and boil, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in the parsley.
4. Serve hot with the roast.
