Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Hand Mixer or Whisk
  • Oven
  • Saucepan
  • Wire Rack
  • Baking Sheet or Parchment Paper
  • Teaspoon and Tablespoon
  • Measuring cups
  • Baking Spray
  • Spatula
  • Wooden spoon

Ingredients

  • 2 Cups Whole Milk
  • 2 tbsp. All purpose Flour
  • 1/2 Cup Bread Crumbs
  • 2 Cups Cooked and Cut Turkey
  • 3 Egg Yolks
  • 1 tbsp. Parsley Flakes
  • 1 Can Mushroom Soup Creamy
  • 3/4 Cup Water
  • 2 tbsp. Butter
  • 1/8 tsp. Pepper
  • 1 tsp. Salt
  • 3 Egg Whites
  • 1/2 Cup Celery
  • 1/2 Cup Onions Cut in Small Pieces

Instructions

  • Start by separating the eggs. Crack each egg and carefully separate the yolks from the whites. Place the whites in a clean, dry mixing bowl and set them aside for later.
  • Using a hand mixer or a whisk, beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. This means the whites will hold their shape when you lift the beaters out. Set the beaten egg whites aside.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk, flour, breadcrumbs, butter, pepper, and salt. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens slightly, which should take about 2 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat once it reaches the desired consistency.
  • Add the cooked and cut turkey, egg yolks, chopped onions, chopped celery, and parsley flakes to the saucepan. Mix everything together thoroughly until well combined.
  • Carefully fold the beaten egg whites into the turkey mixture. Use a gentle folding motion to ensure the egg whites are evenly incorporated without deflating them too much.
  • Grease a 2-quart casserole dish with butter to prevent sticking. Pour the turkey mixture into the prepared dish, spreading it out evenly.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake the soufflé for approximately 35 minutes, or until it is puffed up and golden brown on top.
  • While the soufflé is baking, prepare the mushroom sauce by combining the creamy mushroom soup and water in a saucepan. Heat the mixture over medium heat until warmed through, stirring occasionally.
  • Once the soufflé is done baking, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Serve the turkey soufflé hot, with the warm mushroom sauce drizzled over the top.

Notes

  • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for optimal blending and texture.
  • Use a gentle folding motion when incorporating the whipped egg whites to retain the soufflé's light and airy consistency.
  • Preheat your oven sufficiently to create the ideal environment for the soufflé to rise and bake evenly.
  • Avoid opening the oven door frequently during baking to prevent the soufflé from collapsing prematurely.
  • Allow the soufflé to rest briefly before serving to ensure it holds its shape and texture.
