4 celery ribs (rinsed)
2 large onions (rinsed)
2 bay leaves
1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
4 ounces unsalted butter (1 stick)
1/2 cup flour
2 (14-ounce) cans reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 smoked turkey breast (6 lb)
aluminum foil
Steps
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Peel parsnips and carrots. Cut parsnips, carrots, and celery into 1-inch-long pieces. Remove ends and peel from onions; cut both into quarters. Place vegetables, bay leaves, and salt into medium-size roasting pan.
