Why this recipe is gentle
The turkey is cooked without heavy browning and only a teaspoon of oil, keeping the fat low. Oat cooking cream replaces a rich sauce, and there is no onion, garlic, tomato or spice.

Tips
- Keep the portion moderate, since fat level and portion size both affect how well a meal sits.
- Warm the oat cream briefly instead of reducing it hard, so the dish stays light.
- Swap in dill for the parsley if you prefer a softer, milder herb note.
