directions

Step 1

Heat the EVOO in a deep skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and melt into the oil. Add the thyme, garlic, fennel, onions and some salt and pepper. Sauté until very soft and light golden in colour, about 20 minutes, stirring frequently.

Step 2

Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir a minute. Deglaze with the wine, then stir in the stock and thicken. Then add the turkey.

Step 3

Cool and store for a make-ahead meal. Reheat over medium heat.

Step 4

To serve, heat a large pot of water over high heat, season the water with salt and cook the pasta to al dente.

Step 5

Heat the turkey and fennel over medium heat, add the cream and thicken the sauce, adjust the seasoning.

Step 6

Drain the egg noodles, return to the pot and toss with the butter, parsley, Parmesan and some salt and pepper. Serve the turkey on a bed of egg noodles garnished with pine nuts.

Step 7

Cook’s Note: To roast turkey breasts when it’s not Thanksgiving time, preheat the oven to 325ºF. Rub the skin of the whole turkey breast with butter or oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook until temperature reads 165ºF on thermometer (1 hour for boneless and 75 to 90 minutes for bone-in). Let rest covered with foil.
