I doubled the recipe (minus onions) for 3 adults & a toddler, it had just enough for 2 of us to go back for leftovers. Everyone asked me to make it again, only with a little worcestershire next time. I do kind of question the "healthy" label glancing at the nutritional info, but I suppose with beef it would have been much fattier.

What an awful time to realize that you don't like ground turkey. It's too bad, because the actual recipe was great, but I found the taste of the ground turkey very overpowering and a little too much like hot dogs. I would possibly try this with ground chicken or lean ground beef (so much for healthy!)
