Amount Ingredient
3 tbl olive oil
1 lb assorted fresh mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
1 tbl fresh tarragon, minced
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tsp salt, divided
2 cup cooked turkey, cubed
2 cup whole milk
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
Instructions:
Instructions: In a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat, in hot olive oil, saute mushrooms, minced tarragon, pepper, and 1/2 tsp salt until mushrooms are golden brown, about 10 minutes. Add cubed turkey and 1/3 cup water, stirring to loosen all browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Keep warm. Meanwhile, in a 3-quart saucepan, place 1/2 tsp salt and 1-1/3 cup milk; gradually whisk in cornmeal until smooth. In 2-quart saucepan, heat remaining 2/3 cup milk and 2 cup water to boiling over high heat; whisk into cornmeal mixture. Heat to boiling over medium-high heat, whisking.

Reduce heat to low. Cook while stirring, 5 minutes or until thick. Stir in Parmesan cheese. Serve polenta with turkey/mushroom mixture. Garnish each plate with a sprig of fresh tarragon leaves.

I thought this was a really creative and different way of using leftover turkey - I think I might spice it up just a nip with some onions, (or even get really creative with some diced green chilies ;) ) but other than that it sounds really good to me.
