This was fantastic. Even my 18 yr old picky eater loved it! I added red onion and garlic when I was browning the turkey, chopped green peppers to the filling to give it some extra veggies and used oatmeal in place of the cornmeal. But it turned out great! This will be made again!

We really enjoyed this! I added some diced onion and green pepper to the meat while browning. Unfortunately we were clear out of corn so I subbed dark red kidney beans-delish!!

This is good and easy. Next time I will add onions to the meat when browning.
