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.Reply
