    Perfect for a cold winter day!

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    We loved this meal. Fresh ginger is very flavorful and warming, lots of great vegetables, and it is very easy to make. The... only downside is that it can be a little messy to eat turkey off of the shanks since this is more like a stew. Overall, it's a great dish and I would make this again!Read more

    Loved it!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    My family loved this. I made a few changes: I thought my kids might have a hard time with the turkey shanks so I shredded... the meat after everything was cooked and this made it more like a stew. I omitted the okra and substituted sauteed spinach for the collard greens. I also omitted the hot pepper because I didn't think my kids would like it too spicy. Everyone loved it!Read more

    Fantastic recipe

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    My family absolutely loved this recipe. And it is even better the second day! I used both turkey legs and thighs but I... omitted the peanuts. The sweet potatoes are a must to complete the flavor.Read more
