Turkey with mushrooms and Cream



Yep you read right Mushrooms that great woodsy feeling that allot of our mountains in Italy have but we usually use the regular ones more readily available and the ones we get from mushroom hunters that go into the "Bosco" Woods bring back the good ones used in our homemade macaroni recipes.

This is not a light weight dish but a savory one, picked this one up years and years ago and my family always request it, memories ahh, easy to prepare in a short amount of time.

Turkey is very bland and for a restaurant to serve it they better use two things butter or cream to flavor this meat, very different than Chicken its on the more moist side, where chicken is more dryer but has more flavor;
Try this recipe and you will love it we do
