½ cup sour cream

32 oz. frozen vegetables

4 cups cubed turkey

Kosher salt and ground pepper

1 cup shredded cheese - cheddar

2- 8 oz tube of crescent rolls


  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 9x13x3 inch deep baking pan with cooking spray
  2. In a large dutch oven melt butter over medium-low heat and add chopped onions. Saute until tender and translucent. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring often and scraping bottom of the pot. 
  3. Whisk in chicken broth and continue whisking til the flour is fully incorporated. Stir in the chicken soup. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Simmer for five minutes.
