Tips/Hints:
I modified the original recipe by using fresh mushrooms instead of canned ones and adjusted cooking times accordingly.

members' comments

JD - loved it. My changes were -
only used 20g olive oil, 280g chicken thigh meat cut into 4cm pieces and only 220g mushrooms thinking I would use the excess sauce in another meal later.  It was a perfect meal for 3, not short on chicken nor excess sauce.  After adding the mushrooms and milk, I cooked it for 15 mins/90o and turned up to speed 1 halfway through the cooking. Thanks for your conversion.

Amy - I absolutely loved it, thank you farfallina.

@judydawn; chicken would be great as well I believe. In fact, generally I prefer chicken to turkey

@Thermomixer; prego  ;)

Thanks MJ, that set doesn't get used much these days - tend to just use the white one.  When I used to have dinner parties I used it but now I tend to have people to lunch instead of dinner.  The meal was lovely and it reminded me of a recipe in the WW Chinese Cooking Class book from years ago called Chicken and Almonds so, with a few changes and additions I have rewritten that recipe and will post it when I get around to doing it.  I love a recipe you can take and run with.

Great to see you using 90 deg  :-* :-* :-*

can you explain what this means? is it something about losing vitamins over a certain temperature perhaps  ???
Title: Re: Turkey with Mushroom (with photo)

Not so much about losing vitamins, but just cooking it more gently.  You don't keep the heat up on the stove when cooking, so why not turn the TMX down a bit too - even if it takes a little longer?

I agree with Thermomixer. However, what I have been told by TM consultant here in Italy is that 100ºC doesn't exactly work as full 100ºC. That's why Varoma Temperature exists. In Varoma it really keeps boiling and it doesn't reduce back. Instead 100ºC has a kind of safety system behind so that it would cook in a more healthy way. Since then I've always used 100ºC

True - and it is always being stirred, but I still like it cooked more slowly  ;D ;D  :-*

I made this a while ago and have been waiting desperately for specials on turkey breast at my local supermarket ever since! I absolutely loved it, thank you farfallina :D

I made this again tonight (HOORAY ;D)

I only had 400g turkey, but forgot to halve the liquids! So left the MC off for a while to thicken. Also added a good shot of garlic (to scare away this flu) and some ground turmeric and cumin. Served over a halved baked potato with some little cabbages :D

Absolutely delicious. Thanks again farfallina!!! :-*

I made this tonight using chicken instead of turkey, it was SOOOOO yummy!!!! :D There were supposed to be leftovers, but the last helping just fell onto my plate so I had to eat it :-))

How many times can I thank you for such a delicious recipe farfallina? :D

How come your sauce is a different colour from your last picture Amy?
Title: Re: Turkey with Mushroom (with photo)
Post by: Amy :-) on July 09, 2012, 11:55:41 am
I was just looking at that myself Judy... how strange. Is turkey a darker meat than chicken? ???
Title: Re: Turkey with Mushroom (with photo)
Post by: judydawn on July 09, 2012, 11:58:29 am
The breast wouldn't be much different, did you use mushrooms with the turkey and not with the chicken perhaps?
Title: Re: Turkey with Mushroom (with photo)
Post by: Amy :-) on July 09, 2012, 12:00:32 pm
Hmm, no, there were definitely mushrooms in both. Maybe I used portobello mushrooms in the turkey one? They're a bit darker  ???

How perplexing, I think we need Sherlock Holmes.... :-))

In my opinion it should be the spices that you added last time Amy. You said that you added turmeric and cumin, am i right?

Am I Sherlock Holmes now or what? :D :D
Title: Re: Turkey with Mushroom (with photo)
Post by: Amy :-) on July 10, 2012, 12:02:59 am
Ahhhh!!! Yes farfallina, you're definitely Sherlock Holmes :D I'd completely forgotten about the spices I added last time :-))

Mystery solved ;)
