Note

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of milk or cream if the sauce has thickened too much.

Substitutions: You can substitute chicken breast for turkey. For a dairy-free version, use a dairy-free cream of celery soup alternative or make a roux-based sauce with vegetable broth and a dairy-free cream substitute.

Variations: Add peas or green beans for extra vegetables. You can also add a splash of sherry or white wine for depth of flavor after browning the meat.

Tip: If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water or chicken broth one tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
