This recipe was "all right," the cook time is about half of that on the website. I would recommend adding some milk, alot of salt and pepper, white pepper and some dry basil to kick it up a notch, otherwise this dish comes out very bland. I also used the broccoli and cheese blend instead of the cornflour blend and it tastes the same (I couldnt find it in the stores.

This recipe was "okay." I changed it by using fresh cauliflower and Velveeta cheese instead. Six cups of cauliflower and 6oz of Velveeta raised the calorie count from 179 to 189 (based off hungry girl vs. mine. It lacked a little flavor so I added salt and pepper to taste, garlic salt, and worsheshire sauce. It turned out pretty good and my 3 year old loved it, an added bonus.

Other than the turkey not coming out 100% great my family liked it and any time I can sneak in a veggie like cauliflower it a winner.
