Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Cut turkey fillets into small, bite-sized pieces. Dust with flour and season with salt and pepper.
  2. In a skillet, heat Butterschmalz over medium-high heat. Add turkey pieces and sear for 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Remove from skillet.
  3. Cook Spätzle according to package instructions, typically boiling for 8-10 minutes until they float. Drain and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add onion, pumpkin, and mushrooms. Sauté for about 8-10 minutes until tender.
  5. Deglaze the skillet with white wine, scraping the bottom to lift any flavorful bits. Reduce for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Stir in cream, marjoram, lemon juice, and zest. Let simmer on low for about 5 minutes to thicken. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  7. Return seared turkey to skillet, mixing gently into the creamy sauce. Simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes.
  8. Serve the Turkey and Pumpkin Pan over prepared Spätzle, garnishing with red pepper slices.
