2 Medium onions, diced

2 Cloves fresh garlic, minced

1 c TURKEY STOCK

1/2 c Chardonnay

2 c heavy cream

3 tbsp fresh basil, coarsely chopped

2-1/2 lbs cooked and drained linguini

Directions

Preparation

In a hot skillet over high heat, heat butter. Sear turkey medallions on both sides until cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.

Add onions and garlic to the skillet and sauté over high heat. Cook until onions are dark brown.

Add diced tomatoes and continue cooking until liquid from tomatoes dissipates.

Add stock and Chardonnay; continue cooking until liquid is reduced by half.

Remove tomato and onion mixture to a blender or food processor and puree until smooth.

Return tomato mixture to skillet; add heavy cream and basil. Continue cooking until liquid is reduced by half, or is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.

Return turkey medallions to the sauce and heat through.
