Method

  1. Slice turkey1 into 1 cm x 5 cm strips, finely chop the onion5, slice mushrooms into 0.5 cm rounds, and mince the garlic6.

  2. Boil water for the pasta2. Heat butter3 in a large skillet over medium heat.

  3. Sear turkey1 for 5–6 minutes until golden and no longer pink inside, seasoning lightly with salt.

  4. Add onion5 and mushrooms, cooking for about 6 minutes until the onion softens and mushrooms brown slightly.

  5. Pour in the cream4, add garlic6, salt, and pepper; simmer on medium heat for 3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

  6. Cook pasta2 in boiling salted water for 8–10 minutes until al dente, drain, reserving half a cup of pasta water.

  7. Toss pasta2 with turkey1 and sauce, warming through for 2 minutes, thinning with reserved pasta water if needed.

  8. Taste for seasoning, plate, and serve hot.

Tips

Why it works
Cut turkey into thin strips so it cooks evenly in 5–6 minutes without drying out. Overthick pieces stay pink inside.
Substitutions
Use 80g oyster mushrooms instead of champignons. They’re cheaper and absorb sauce similarly. Replace cream with 80g Greek yogurt for tanginess.
Common mistakes
Turkey stays pale if undercooked; cut a piece to check. Juices should run clear. Overcooked pasta turns mushy and clumps when tossed.
Storing and reheating
Eat fresh or within 2 days. Reheat in a pan with 10ml water for 3 minutes. Freezing makes the sauce separate.
Serve with
Pair with a simple green salad and crusty bread to soak up the sauce. Works for weeknight dinners when you need protein fast.
