- Heat vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium heat, stir in mushrooms and carrot, and cook and stir until mushrooms start to give up their liquid and carrot begins to soften, about 5 minutes. Add turkey, onion powder, salt, pepper, bay leaf, and sherry to the pan and cook, stirring, another 5 minutes to reduce pan juices.
- Pour the soup and water over the turkey mixture and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and add the cream, parsley and frozen peas. Simmer 5 to 10 minutes to reduce the sauce and heat the peas through. Remove bay leaf and stir in butter just before serving.

Easy to prepare and tasty to eat. All my family will eat this as it is full of flavour but not spicy! - 18 Feb 2014
We liked this recipes alot. It was a bit runny though. Next time I think I'll only use 1/2 can of water. Also, I didn't have peas so I substituted green beans and it was good. No sherry either so I used Pinot Grigio in its place. Nevertheless, we really enjoyed it and it was easy to make. Served over wide egg noodles. - 02 Dec 2008 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
This is a good recipe. I liked the flavor that the sherry adds. I didn't have the cream so used milk instead of water. It was a bit runny so I added more turkey (about 3 cups). Didn't have cream of chicken soup so used cream of mushroom and added 1 tsp of dry chicken stock. I also added a bit of Frank's hot sauce to spice it up a bit. I'm used to having turkey a la king served over wide noodles from when I was a kid - we didn't have any so served it over left over stuffing. Yum! Overall a good recipe to play with. - 30 Dec 2008 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
