Turkey in Creamy Sauce

I would like to share a recipe that is an absolute favorite in our family. I found it about three years ago in some magazine. Unfortunately, I don't remember the name of the magazine, so I can't reference it. But we fell in love with this dish so much that we've been preparing it ever since. This dish can be included in a daily menu, as well as a festive one. The greatest perk of this recipe, though, is that the fact that it's very simple to prepare! Give it a try, you won't regret it! Bon appétit! 


Ingredients:

17-21oz (500-600 g) skinless, boneless turkey breast halves (chicken breasts work as well)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon any cooking oil or butter
3.5 oz bacon
3.5 oz mushrooms (I used common mushrooms)
6-7 sun-dried tomatoes
1 2/3 cup heavy cream (35%)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Directions:
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
  2. Wash the turkey breasts in cold water and dry well using paper towels.  
  3. Rub salt and pepper on the chicken breasts. In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the chicken in cooking oil or butter for 3 to 5 minutes, until golden on both sides. 
  4. Place the turkey in a greased or lined with parchment paper baking dish. 
  5. In the same skillet were the chicken was cooked, fry the bacon and mushroom separately, and place them on top of the turkey. Add the sun-dried tomatoes and pour the cream already combined with Dijon mustard on top.  

  6. Put the dish in the oven and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, so that the cream thickens. Serve with rice, pasta or potatoes.
