14 INGREDIENTS
6 SERVINGS
1 cup frozen peas
Directions
10 STEPS
1
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tbsp ghee.
2
When the ghee is hot and shimmery, add the 8 oz sliced brown mushrooms and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes, until most of the moisture has evaporated and the mushrooms are slightly caramelized on the edges. Remove the mushrooms and set aside in a bowl.
3
Reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic and bay leaf to the same skillet. Cook for about 30 seconds, until the garlic is fragrant.
4
Add the chopped celery and onion to the skillet. Cook and stir often until the veggies are tender and translucent but not browned, about 8 minutes.
5
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tbsp arrowroot flour and 2 tbsp coconut milk to create a slurry. Set aside.
6
In the skillet, add the mushrooms, cooked chopped turkey, the remaining coconut milk, and 1/2 cup chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
7
Turn off the heat, then stir in the arrowroot slurry. The sauce will thicken almost immediately.
8
Add 1 cup frozen peas to the skillet and remove the bay leaf.
9
Season to taste with sea salt and black pepper.
10
Serve the turkey tetrazzini mixture over 4 cups zucchini noodles.
