This is a very tasty recipe. I added 1/2 tsp salt while cooking and sprinkled on a bit of cayenne before broiling for a little zing.

Very good - especially with leftovers. I had to make a few changes based on the picky eaters here. I cooked it as directed but before adding the cheese I used the immersion blender and whipped it up to hide the onions. This made for a great smooth sauce. I also had to change the cheese to colby jack. I added some pepper and seasoning salt. We really liked this - even the kids who don't like onions. I did have quite a bit of sauce leftover. Thanks I will be making this again

Wonderful comfort food. Followed the recipe exactly until I realize I put in 2 cups of cheese. As a result I had to thin out with a little more cream. I cut the turkey into bite sized pieces and steamed broccoli and stirred them both into the sauce. Serve with an Italian bread that was warm from the oven at the grocery store. YUMMY.
