Turkey Fiesta

Submitted by Hwin

"My mom always made this after Thanksgiving, and I always looked forward to it. You can make it without the pimentos, but they make it more impressive visually and add a little punch. You could also use red bell pepper, I suppose. Anyway, I like to serve it over shell pasta, but it is also good on toast."

This was just excellent. I wanted to add several ingredients to the mix but decided to make as is the first time. It had amazing flavor for so little ingredients. I did add a nice twist of fresh black pepper. I didn't use the full 8 ounces of frozen peas either since I didn't have that much. Probably 1/2 to 3/4 cups was all I used and that was plenty for us. Thanks for sharing one of your mom's recipes. I'll make this one again. :) Made for PRMR Holiday Special 09
