Tips & Tricks
- For a lighter version, you can substitute the heavy cream with Greek yogurt or coconut milk.
- Serve the turkey cutlets with a side of roasted potatoes or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with a little water and add it to the sauce, then simmer until thickened.
- To enhance the mushroom flavor, you can sauté the mushrooms separately before adding them to the sauce.
- If you're short on time, you can use pre-sliced mushrooms to save on preparation.
