Notes

  • Chop, slice and measure your ingredients ahead of time to streamline the cooking process.
  • Choose a mix of mushrooms or your favorite variety for added depth in taste. Sauté them until golden brown for richer flavor.
  • If using white wine, choose a dry or cooking variety. Allow it to reduce slightly to intensify the flavor without overpowering the dish.
  • Season each component separately to control the overall saltiness. Remember, the turkey may already have seasoning from its initial preparation.
  • Fusilli pasta works well due to its spiral shape, capturing the creamy sauce. However, you can experiment with other pasta shapes if desired.
  • Roasted or smoked turkey will have enhanced flavor and tenderness. Ensure it's cut into bite-sized cubes or chunks.
  • Add the leftover turkey towards the end to prevent it from becoming tough. This keeps the turkey tender.
  • Feel free to customize by adding ingredients like spinach, peas, or a dash of paprika for a flavorful twist.
  • Storage - keep in airtight containers inside the fridge for up to 5 days.
