from the bottom of the skillet. Keep warm.

Meanwhile, in a 3-quart saucepan,
place 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 1/3 cups milk;
gradually whisk in cornmeal until smooth.
In a 2-quart saucepan, heat remaining 2/3 cups milk and
2 cups water to boiling over high heat.
Whisk into cornmeal mixture.
Heat to boiling over medium-high heat, whisking.
Reduce heat to low.
Cook while stirring, 5 minutes or until thick.
Stir in Parmesan cheese.

Serve polenta with turkey/mushroom mixture.
Garnish each plate with a sprig of fresh tarragon leaves.
