Ingredients

For the Crepes Batter:

½ cup lukewarm water
1 cup milk
4 large eggs
4 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted (or substitute extra light olive oil)
1 cup all-purpose flour (or ½ cup whole wheat flour + ½ cup all-purpose)
¼ tsp salt

For the Filling:

½ lb leftover turkey meat (dark and/or white)
3 Tbsp olive oil
½ lb mushrooms, sliced
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 carrot, finely grated
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
1 Tbsp olive oil (optional for moisture)
1 Tbsp water

Instructions

How to Make the Crepes:

In a blender, combine all crepe batter ingredients in the listed order. Blend until smooth.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Melt a small dot of butter or brush with olive oil.
Pour 2–3 tablespoons of batter into the skillet, swirling immediately to coat the bottom evenly.
Cook until the underside is lightly golden (about 1 minute), then flip with a thin spatula and cook the other side briefly.
Transfer to a cutting board to cool slightly before stacking. Repeat with the remaining batter.

How to Make the Turkey Filling:

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2–3 tablespoons of olive oil. Sauté mushrooms, grated carrot, and diced onion until soft (7–10 minutes). Season with ½ tsp salt and ¼ tsp pepper.
Use a meat grinder or food processor to grind the turkey along with the sautéed vegetable mixture. Stir to combine. If the filling feels too dry, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon water.
Spread 2 tablespoons of the filling onto each crepe, spreading evenly to the edges. Roll into logs or fold into triangles, as preferred.

To Serve:

Serve warm with a dollop of sour cream for added creaminess.

Tips

Ensure your skillet is preheated and lightly greased for easy flipping.
If your first crepe doesn’t turn out perfectly, don’t worry—it’s common! The skillet may need minor adjustments.
To save time, prepare the filling while cooking the crepes.

Variations and Substitutions

Swap turkey with cooked chicken or beef.
Add grated cheese to the filling for extra flavor.
Use gluten-free flour for the crepe batter to make this dish gluten-free.
