  3. Deglaze the pan with a splash of white wine, add chopped onion, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Then add minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
  4. Stir in chicken broth, heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and turmeric powder. Bring to a gentle simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened.
