Notes
- A little bit of fresh lemon juice and zest really freshens up the dish. Add just before serving.
- Make sure to simmer the sauce gently, especially after the turkey has gone in, because you don't want the turkey to overcook and become dry.
- You can adjust the thickness of the sauce if needed. If it is too thick, then add some stock to thin it out. If you need to thicken it, then you can add a cornstarch slurry.
