Don't Skip the Sauté: Sautéing the onions and garlic until fragrant enhances the overall flavor of the dish, making it more aromatic. Adjust the Thickness: If the sauce is too thick, add a splash more chicken broth to reach your desired consistency. Garnish Wisely: Fresh parsley not only adds color but also freshness that complements the creamy sauce beautifully. {{image_2}} You can switch out turkey for chicken or beef. Both work well in this recipe. If you want a lighter dish, use chicken. For a richer taste, beef is great. If you're looking for dairy-free options, try vegan sour cream.
