A couple quick changes
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I doubled all the spices. I substituted 1C skim milk for the sour cream and 1C fat-free cream of chicken soup for the broth.... The combo was equal to the consistency of sour crm and broth. It turned out to be delicious. Hearty and heart healthy!Read more

Just needs a little tweaking
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We add in sliced mushrooms along with the red pepper, and reduce the broth by half to keep it from needing so much simmering.... I think that's what waters it down otherwise. Husbands LOVES this recipe, and leftovers taste even better the next day!Read more

Great Dish!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I didn't follow the recipe exactly (I never do) I added fresh spinach to the vegetables. The result was delicious, and the... sauce created with the sour cream and chicken stock reminded me of my FMIL's beef stroganof sauce. The kids loved it, and I had to fight myself to not go eat seconds. Read more

Easy and Delicious
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I've been making this recipe for about a year. I'm a grad student and get home very late very tired often and when I want to... make something really nice for myself I'll usually make this. My boyfriend loves it and is always impressed. Be sure not to overcook your pasta because you cook it further when added to the turkey. I usually add whatever spices I have in my pantry at the time too like chili powder, oregano, whatever. Its just a really easy inexpensive and great recipe. Read more

Quick recipes but flavorless
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I loved the ease of preparing this but I found it lacked flavor. To help that before serving it, I added a little bit of soy... sauce, grated parmesan cheese and a pinch of taco seasoning-it worked out well!Read more

Quick and Easy
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

At first i was apprehensive about making this after reading all the reviews but im glad i did. After adding the pasta i let... it simmer for about 15 min to really let the flavor soak. I also added chill powder to the recipe. With all the herbs and the simmering, it turned out great. The flavor was rich and the meal was delicious. I will def. make this again!Read more
