Tips & Substitutions
For enhanced flavor, consider using shallots or garlic along with the mushrooms when sautéing. If Marsala wine is unavailable, you can substitute it with a dry sherry or a splash of white wine. For a lighter version, you can use skinless turkey breast or even chicken. Fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary can also elevate the dish.

Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently warm in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of turkey broth or water to maintain moisture. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the turkey rubbery. This dish also freezes well for up to 2 months.
