This is definitely a comfort food recipe, but one you can feel good about eating. Turkey and lots of veggies, but some bacon to add some flavor. It was a pretty easy meal to make, but lots of chopping of veggies involved which took the most time. It took me about 45 minutes to complete this meal, but it was worth the time involved. Matt gave it three and a half stars and said that he would eat it again...he's not big into veggies. I would have given it four stars myself. There was so much flavor in this recipe that you couldn't even tell that it was ground turkey that was used. Since there are only two of us, I could have frozen half of the dish for later use, but I'll just have leftovers tomorrow. I thought it was so good that I had two helpings!

I'll be taking tomorrow night off as we are having dinner over at a friend's house, so you will see my next installment on Sunday. Have a great weekend everybody!
