PRESENTATION

A nutritious main course prepared with turkey breast, button mushrooms, butter, Port wine, cream, flour, and black pepper.

INGREDIENTS:

Serves 2

METOD

Cut the turkey breast into bite-sized pieces.

Clean the mushrooms and slice them thinly.

Place the turkey pieces in a skillet with the butter and sauté over medium heat, turning frequently until lightly browned.

Deglaze with the Port wine and allow the meat to absorb the flavor over low heat until the wine has reduced.

Add the sliced mushrooms, stir, and cook with the lid slightly ajar for about 10 minutes.

Two minutes before the end of cooking, add the water and the flour.

Stir thoroughly to avoid lumps.

Add 2–3 tablespoons of liquid cream.

Toss briefly in the pan and serve immediately, garnished with parsley and a pinch of black pepper.

Health Benefits of the Ingredients:

Butter: A source of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K), which support the health of eyes, mucous membranes, bones, the immune system, and blood clotting.
Turkey meat: Lean white meat that provides selenium, supporting immune function, and is low in saturated fat, thus not impairing liver or cardiovascular function.
Flour: Provides B vitamins (thiamine, niacin, riboflavin, and folates), essential for energy metabolism and nervous system function.
Button mushrooms: Contain vitamin C and selenium, which help counter oxidative stress and protect cells from damage, B vitamins that support metabolism and the nervous system, and beta-glucans that support immune function and natural defenses.
Cream: A source of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K), beneficial for eye health, mucous membranes, bone health, immune function, and blood coagulation.
Pepper (green, pink, black, gray, white): Contains piperine, a powerful antioxidant that improves insulin sensitivity, reduces cholesterol levels, and activates metabolism. Recommended for individuals with cardiovascular conditions.
Red wine (moderate consumption): Rich in resveratrol, it has antioxidant properties, helps counter LDL (“bad”) cholesterol, and increases HDL (“good”) cholesterol, reducing the risk of heart attack and stroke.
