Turkey fricassee
During the Fall and Winter months we should show our support to Ontario’s Turkey Farmers by eating more turkey. Ontario Turkey is lean, healthy, and delicious and we usually have leftover turkey in our refrigerators. This island style fricassee is the perfect complement with nuances of coconut cream and earthy mushrooms that transforms leftover turkey into a savoury and succulent dish.
