Ingredients
  

  • 1 turkey breast fillet
  • 1 onion
  • ½ red or yellow bell pepper
  • 2 sprigs of thyme leaves only
  • 100 g chestnut button mushroom
  • 100 ml single cream

  1. Cut the turkey into bite-sized chunks or stripes.
  2. Finely chop the onion and bell pepper.

  4. Add the mushrooms and a drop water or lemon juice. Put a lid on and sauté for about 10 minutes until the mushrooms have released their liquid.
  5. Add the bay leaf, mustard and cream.
  6. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring, until you a get a thick, silky sauce.
  7. Taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking - you might want to add a drop of lemon juice to it.
  8. Discard the bay leaf and serve warm.
