Recipe View 8 mins Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve hot over your choice of puff pastry, biscuits, toast, or rice.

For an even richer flavor, consider using bone broth instead of chicken broth.
A splash of dry sherry or white wine can add complexity to the sauce. Add it after the mushrooms have softened.
Fresh herbs like parsley, thyme, or chives can be stirred in just before serving for a pop of freshness.
Adjust the amount of cream to achieve your preferred sauce consistency.
To prevent the peas from becoming mushy, add them in the last few minutes of cooking.
If you like a bit of heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce.

    The instructions were easy to follow, and the dish came together quickly. Perfect for a weeknight meal.

  • Deangelo Russel

    I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth, and it was still delicious. A great vegetarian option if you use something other than turkey.

  • Theresia Jacobi

    I served it over croissants for brunch, and it was a huge hit!

  • Hipolito Cruickshank

    I found that the sauce thickened a bit too much, so I added a little extra chicken broth to thin it out. Just keep an eye on it.

    My kids are picky eaters, but they devoured this! I think the peas and creamy sauce won them over.
