Notes
For best results, bring turkey to room temperature before cooking. Use a thermometer to check internal temperature (165°F for turkey).
Substitute coconut milk for heavy cream to reduce fat content. Fresh parsley or chives make excellent garnishes.
Let rest 5 minutes before serving to preserve juices.
