do you have any recommendations on making this ahead and freezing?
I would love to try this but my husband has heart problems. Canned soup is too high in sodium and so is the low sodium is way too high . Can you tell me what else I could use?
Here is our recipe for Homemade Cream of Chicken Soup: https://www.plainchicken.com/homemade-cream-of-chicken-soup/
How long would I cook it if I did it on High?
about half the time as on LOW
Do you think this would work with chicken legs and thighs? I’m tring to do d easy crock pot recipes my kids will eat. I somehow have 4 turkey packets and lots of chicken.
Can this be done in an Instant pot?
I’m sure it could. I have never made it in the Instant Pot, so I do not have cook times for pressure cooking. You can always make it on the slow cooker setting on your Instant Pot.
Open your sandwhich buns & toast lightly under the broiler briefly. This is what I do so meat ball subs don’t get soggy.
Is there a way to cook just one tenderloin?
The first time I made this, I had to improvise with brown gravy mix. It was delicious!
My husband and I loved it so much we are going to fix it for our Thanksgiving Dinner!
Turkey Tenderloin is new for us….so we’ve tried it several different ways. This is our favorite!
SO glad y’all are enjoying it! It is our favorite way to eat turkey! SO easy & DELICIOUS!
Thank you in advance! I am so looking forward to making this tomorrow!😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋
