  2. Sprinkle on Paprika mix, blend well and fry stirring until flour is well cooked but not at all browned.
  3. Gradually stir in Stock until it is well incorporated and somewhat thickened.
  4. Stir in sliced Mushrooms. Cover tightly and simmer slowly for about 10 minutes.
  5. Stir in Turkey and bring back to a simmer. Check salt and pepper to taste. Adjust liquid if needed for desired consistency (a bit more liquid for rice than for pasta).
  6. Stir in Sour Cream and bring up hot but not quite to a simmer. serve immediately with rice or over pasta. If you later reheat briefly to a simmer, the appearance will change slightly, but it'll still taste just fine.
NOTES:

  1. Mushrooms:

      Crimini or Portobella are good, or regular white mushrooms. If you use canned add later along with turkey.

  2. Paprika:

      Use real Hungarian sweet paprika from a reputable source, not that sawdust flavored coloring powder they sell in the supermarkets.

  3. Stock:

      Preferably this will be stock you just made out of the roasted turkey carcass after stripping the meat off.
  4. U.S. measure: t=teaspoon, T=Tablespoon, c=cup, qt=quart, oz=ounce, #=pound, cl=clove in=inch, ar=as required tt=to taste
