Good peas!! The sauce makes this side dish very rich so I could see serving it with fish or skinless chicken breast next time. I like the spice combo, the thyme comes through the strongest and I love thyme. I used evaporated milk and granulated white pepper and granulated garlic powder for extra flavor. Thanks for the recipe!!

I take a frozen turkey burger and put it in a pan with some olive oil and then add a little butter and flip it over until barely done and remove for chopping. I then add fresh sliced mushrooms and frozen peas to the now saucy pan. I add some sour cream or cream cheese whatever I have and adjust with splashes of milk and S&P. I serve it on top of white rice or Costco's perfect mashed potatoes. I have made this with steak, chicken and shrimp and they are all delicious. Instead of flour I like to thicken it with mashed potatoes it's much more savory. I just finished my leftovers from two days ago and I am a stuffed happy pig.
