Ingredients
- 1 pound turkey breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the Turkey: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the turkey pieces and season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove turkey from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the diced onion and garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they are tender and browned.
- Make the Sauce: Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in the heavy cream, thyme, and rosemary. Allow the sauce to simmer for about 5 minutes, until it thickens slightly.
- Combine: Return the cooked turkey to the skillet and stir to coat in the creamy mushroom sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot over rice, pasta, or with crusty bread.
