📝 Preparation Steps
1
How to make the Crepes:
2
In a blender, combine all of the crepes ingredients in the order they are listed. Blend until you have a smooth batter.
3
Melt a dot of butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat (Note: two skillets make the process faster). Pour about 2 to 3 tablespoons of batter into the skillet, depending on the size of your skillet (A large skillet needs 3 Tbsp). I use a 1-ounce measuring cup to get me a quick measure. You can also use a ladle.
4
Once the pan is preheated, use a spatula to coat the bottom of the pan lightly with the dot of butter. Pour in your 2-3 Tbsp of crepe batter and immediately swirl the pan to coat the bottom. It's ok to fill in any awkward cracks with a dab of batter. Your first crepe might turn out ugly. That's normal. Don't panic.
5
Once the first side is lightly golden, flip the crepe over with a thin edged spatula. It could take less than minute depending on how hot your skillet s. In a good (unscratched) non-stick skillet, these flip very easily and do not stick to the pan. You also won't have to add the dab of butter with the rest of your crepes.
6
Cool your crepes on a cutting board for a few minutes before stacking them.

How to Make the Turkey Filling:
8
Heat a large skillet over medium/high heat. Add in 2-3 Tbsp olive oil. Saute sliced mushrooms, finely grated carrot and diced onion until they are all soft, stirring occasionally (⏱️ 7-10 min). Season the mixture with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper.

Use a meat grinder with the large hole attachment to grind up the turkey along with your mushroom/carrot/onion mixture. (Note: I haven't tried with a food processor, but it would be a good experiment). Stir to combine. If your meat mixture seems to dry to spread, Add another 1 Tbsp of Olive oil and 1 Tbsp water.

Spread 2 Tbsp of the meat mixture over your crepes and spread out to the edges with a spatula. Now you can roll them up like a log or fold them in half twice for a triangle crepes. It's up to you. True, they are easier to eat rolled up :)

Serve with generous dollop of sour cream. :)

My 4-year-old son loved these too! I hope you all had a fantastic Thanksgiving! Many of you are probably eating lots of leftovers. This tastes nothing like leftovers!
