This is another keeper from Burgundy, where I lived for two years. It is simple, rich, and very elegant which is typical of the region. This recipe is a real keeper. Ingredients:
3 lbs turkey breast (uncooked) |
1/2 lb asparagus, peeled, sliced into bite size pieces |
1 1/2 cups dry white wine |
1 cup chicken broth |
1 onion, roughly chopped |
2 tablespoons creme fraiche |
1 tablespoon butter |
1 teaspoon olive oil |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Cut the turkey into 1 inch cubes, as if for stew.
2. Add salt and pepper to taste, and mix the cubes well.
3. Heat the oil and butter in a large skillet over medium high heat.
4. Add the turkey cubes when the oil and butter shimmer, and brown it well.
5. When it is browned, add the onions, the wine, and the chicken broth.
6. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat and simmer 45 minutes.
7. Add the asparagus, and cook fifteen minutes more, or until the asparagus is 'al dente'.
8. Add the creme fraiche, stir and serve immediately with rice.
