To make this turkey rice soup, I started by melting some butter in a large pot over medium-high heat.

Once the butter was melted, I added some all-purpose flour to the pot and stirred it into the butter.

I let the flour cook for a few minutes until it was just starting to brown.

Then I added some condensed chicken broth to the pot and stirred it well to combine it with the flour mixture.

I brought the soup to a boil and then immediately reduced the heat to medium-low.

I left the soup to simmer for twelve minutes, stirring occasionally so that the rice would not stick to the bottom of the pot.

Then I added some salt, pepper, sage, onion powder, canned peas and carrots to the soup and stirred well.
