The idea of this recipe is to use leftover roasted veggies like parsnips, carrots, potatoes, etc. If they aren't already cut into bite-sized pieces, do that before using in this recipe. If you don't have any leftover vegetables, you can replace them in this recipe with a frozen veggie mix, such as peas and carrots. Just be sure to add them in at the end after the turkey has simmer, so they don't overcook.
Weighing your flour is the most accurate way to measure. If you aren't going to weigh it, make sure to spoon it into the cup, and then level it off. If you scoop the flour out with the measuring cup and then level, it could change the outcome of the final product.
This recipe was tested using Diamond Crystal coarse kosher salt. If you use Morton's kosher salt or fine salt decrease by about half for volume, or use the same amount by weight.
