Wash and peel the asparagus, and trim off any woody ends. Cut the stalks into approximately 3 cm pieces. Bring about 1 liter of water to a boil with salt and sugar. Sauté the asparagus pieces for 8 minutes, remove, and drain well. Peel and dice the onion. Dice the bacon or ham as well. Cut the turkey fillet into strips, season with salt and pepper, and coat in flour. Sauté the onion and bacon in clarified butter, add the meat, and fry until golden brown. Pour in the wine (or a dash of sherry if desired) and cream, and reduce to a creamy sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the asparagus pieces and crème fraîche. Heat everything back up again and serve sprinkled with parsley. Serve with spaetzle (noodles) or rice.
