Ingredients:

• 1 lb turkey breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 2 cups mushrooms, sliced (button, cremini, or a mix)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup chicken broth
• ½ cup heavy cream
• 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1 tsp dried rosemary
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Turkey: Season the turkey pieces with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the turkey and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the turkey from the skillet and set aside.
2. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3 minutes until it becomes translucent. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
3. Cook the Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are browned and have released their moisture.
4. Make the Sauce: Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well to coat. Slowly pour in the chicken broth while stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it thicken slightly, about 2 minutes.
5. Add the Cream and Herbs: Stir in the heavy cream, thyme, and rosemary. Return the turkey to the skillet, and let it simmer in the sauce for another 5-7 minutes, or until the turkey is cooked through and the sauce is thickened to your liking.
6. Serve: Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve hot over rice, pasta, or with crusty bread.
