Ingredients

  • 600 g Leftover turkey cut into cubes
  • 250 g Chestnut mushrooms sliced
  • 3 Garlic cloves peeled and thinly sliced
  • 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme leaves chopped
  • 40 g Butter
  • 1 tablespoon Plain flour
  • 100 ml White wine
  • 300 ml Chicken stock
  • 100 ml Double cream
  • 150 g Frozen peas
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley chopped
  • 3 tablespoons Grated parmesan optional
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions

  • Begin by melting the butter in a wide frying pan or a heavy-based casserole dish over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms, garlic, and thyme. Sauté for about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms soften and take on a golden edge.
  • Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well to coat. Let it cook for 1 minute to eliminate any raw taste, forming the base of your sauce.
  • Pour in the white wine and let it bubble vigorously for around 2 minutes, reducing slightly and lifting any caramelized bits from the bottom of the pan.
  • Next, add the chicken stock and bring everything to a gentle boil. Once bubbling, lower the heat and allow the mixture to simmer for 5 minutes, reducing slightly and thickening into a flavorful sauce.
  • Stir in the double cream and toss in the frozen peas. Let it all simmer gently for another 5 minutes, allowing the peas to cook through and the sauce to become rich and velvety.
  • Finally, fold in the cooked turkey cubes and continue cooking for 2–3 minutes, just until the meat is thoroughly warmed without drying out. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve the fricassee garnished with chopped parsley and a generous sprinkle of grated parmesan if desired. Best enjoyed with crusty bread, mashed potatoes, or rice.
