Creamy Turkey Mushroom Pasta

Ingredients
  

  • 2 turkey thighs cooked, skin removed, and chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to season
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil divided
  • 1 medium yellow onion chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • cup dry white wine
  • 8- ounces mushrooms sliced
  • 1- quart chicken stock or broth
  • 1 12-fl/oz can evaporated milk
  • cup milk I use skim milk
  • Extra salt and pepper to taste
  • 10- ounces uncooked penne pasta just over 4 cups
  • 1 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese
  • A handful of fresh parsley chopped

Instructions
 

  • Season turkey thighs with dried basil, salt and pepper under the skin. Bake at 375 degrees for approximately 45 minutes - or until the temperature reaches 165 degrees F. as measured by a meat thermometer.
  • Let the turkey cool, remove the skin, and then roughly chop into bit-sized pieces.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil to a large Dutch oven.
  • Fry the onion and garlic until the onion becomes transparent, stirring occasionally (about 2 minutes).
  • Pour in the white wine and allow to simmer for 5 minutes, or until beginning to reduce down.
  • Add the mushrooms and cook for a further 3 minutes, while stirring occasionally.
  • Then, add the broth, milks, salt and pepper, and bring to a gentle simmer.
  • Add the pasta and simmer until pasta is al dente, about 15 minutes, while stirring occasionally.
  • Stir in the parmesan cheese until it melts through the sauce.
  • Stir in the turkey.
  • Turkey heat to low and allow to sit for 5 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken and turkey to heat through.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley and extra parmesan, if desired.

Notes

You could substitute heavy cream or half-and-half for the evaporated milk if you so desire.
