- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you add too much turkey or vegetables to the pan at once, they will steam instead of brown.
- Cook the turkey in batches: If you're using a lot of turkey, cook it in batches so that it doesn't overcrowd the pan.
- Season the turkey and vegetables liberally: This will help to bring out their flavor.
- Use a flavorful sauce or broth: This will add moisture and flavor to the dish.
- Simmer the dish until the vegetables are tender: This will take about 15-20 minutes.
- Serve over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes: This dish is a great way to use up leftover turkey.
