Preparation
In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat and sauté garlic and mushrooms for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
To deglaze pan, add wine and bring to a boil. Add cream, milk, mushrooms, turkey, salt and pepper; simmer for a few minutes, without boiling, until heated through.
Set aside 1 oz (30 g) of cheese for garnish. Add remaining cheese to pan and melt over medium heat, stirring well.
