Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté in the browned butter, stirring occasionally, until they become tender and release their earthy aroma (about 5-7 minutes). Stir in the flour until smooth, creating a roux.

Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve hot over your choice of puff pastry, biscuits, toast, or rice.
For an even richer flavor, consider using bone broth instead of chicken broth.
A splash of dry sherry or white wine can add complexity to the sauce. Add it after the mushrooms have softened.
Fresh herbs like parsley, thyme, or chives can be stirred in just before serving for a pop of freshness.
Adjust the amount of cream to achieve your preferred sauce consistency.
To prevent the peas from becoming mushy, add them in the last few minutes of cooking.
If you like a bit of heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce.

Nov 12, 2024I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth, and it was still delicious. A great vegetarian option if you use something other than turkey.

Feb 28, 2023I found that the sauce thickened a bit too much, so I added a little extra chicken broth to thin it out. Just keep an eye on it.
