My husband declared this a keeper. I really like the addition of the squash (I roasted a butternut). I chose to omit the dried parsley and added fresh at the end. :)

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this yet! We eat a lot of ground turkey, so one day I decided to look for a new recipe. This is what I found and I love it! My family loves it! I really can't say enough about it :) Thanks for sharing!

Really different dish. We eat ground turkey at least once a week, and this was a great change to what we normally have. Very easy to put together, and it's pretty too. I subbed 1 tbsp. corn starch mixed into the milk rather than flour. Also, I did 1/2c skim with 1/2c fat free half and half. Additionally, I used a frozen winter squash puree, and, I did 1.5 tsp. of curry, although, next time I think I'd do the full 2. Thank you for sharing.
