Ingredients
- 1 package Shady Brook Farms® Turkey Breast Chops
- 1 Bunch Fresh Parsley
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon fresh oregano
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp olive oil (1 tbsp separated)
- 3 tbsp red wine vinegar
- Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 package Fettuccine (fresh preferred)
-
Step 1
Start by heating a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add a touch of 1 tbsp oil if needed. Place the Shady Brook Farms® Turkey Breast Chops in the hot pan and sear them for about 1-2 minutes, until they begin to get a golden-brown color, then flip. Reduce heat to low. In a separate pot bring 4 quarts of water to a boil (optionally season water with salt) -
Step 2
While the turkey chops continue to cook on low, let's create the chimichurri sauce. In a food processor, combine the fresh parsley, cilantro, fresh oregano, garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and a pinch of red pepper flakes (if you like it spicy). Blend until you have a vibrant green chimichurri sauce. Add in heavy cream, and pulse for 2-3 seconds until mixed. -
Step 3
Slowly pour your creamy chimichurri into the saucepan with the turkey chops and bring heat to medium. Let this reduce for about 5 minutes until thick and creamy and turkey chops have reached 165°F internal temperature. -
Step 4
While the sauce is simmering, add your fettuccine noodles to the pot of boiling water and cook until al dente and drain. -
Step 5
In the large saucepan, combine the cooked fettuccine, turkey, and the chimichurri sauce. Stir well to coat the pasta and turkey with the flavorful sauce. -
Step 6
Remove turkey chops and cut into 1-2 inch pieces for easier serving. Top over fettuccine and garnish with fresh parmesan and red pepper flakes if desired. Enjoy!
