Yield: 18 Establishment: Restaurant, Club Operation   Ethnicity: American   Meal Type: Soup, Stew, Chili   Preparation Method: Simmer   Product Type: Cooked Turkey

4 Ounces slab (unsliced) bacon, rind removed & cut into 1/3-inch dice

4 Tablespoons unsalted butter

12 Ounces diced onion (1/3-inch dice)

6 Ounces sliced celery (1/3-inch slices)

6 Ounces peeled and diced carrots, (1/3-inch dice)

2 to 3 Sprigs fresh thyme, leaves removed & chopped

6 Fresh sage leaves, finely chopped (2 teaspoons)

1-1/2 Pounds Yukon Gold or other all-purpose potatoes, diced

1-1/2 Quarts TURKEY STOCK

1-1/2 Pounds COOKED TURKEY, diced

5 Ounces sweet corn kernels

1-1/2 to 2 Cups heavy cream

To taste kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

1/4 Cup chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Heat a 6-quart heavy pot over low heat and add bacon. Once it has rendered a few tablespoons of fat, increase the heat to medium and cook until the bacon is crisp and golden brown. Pour of all but 1 tablespoon fat, leaving the bacon in the pot. Add butter, onion, celery, carrots, thyme and sage. Sauté, stirring occasionally for 10-12 minutes until all vegetables are softened but not browned. Add potatoes and 1-quart turkey stock. The stock should cover the potatoes; if it does not, add more stock or water to cover. Increase heat and bring to a boil. Cover and cook potatoes vigorously for about 5 minutes, until they are soft. If the broth hasn't slightly thickened, smash a few potatoes against the side of the pot and cook 1 to 2 minutes longer. Add the turkey, corn and remaining 1-pint stock. Simmer for 5 minutes. Remove chowder from heat and stir in cream. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Sprinkle each serving with chopped parsley.
