Instructions

In a large 12-inch skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, onions, and bell pepper and cook until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes.

Add the sherry if using, and stir, cooking until most of the liquid is evaporated. Stir in the garlic powder, pepper, and salt.

Stir in the flour and cook for 2 minutes. While stirring, gradually add the turkey broth and cream. Turn the heat to a low simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened, about 5 to 7 minutes.

Add the peas, chopped pimentos, and turkey, cooking until heated through, about 3 to 4 minutes.

Serve over pasta, rice, or biscuits.
