2 tbsp of flour
½ litre of brut champagne
1 cup (240 ml) of cream
75 gr of butter
salt and pepper

2. Heat the butter in a large saucepan and as soon as it starts to bubble add the turkey pieces; Brown well on all sides, turning frequently.
*If your pan is not big enough to hold all the turkey pieces at once without them toppling each other, brown them in two parts and then join them together before pouring the champagne.
