After reading the previous reviews, the consensus seemed to be that the dish was not spicy enough. I did, however, like the basic recipe, so I followed the reicpe fairly closely, but added 2 chopped jalapeno peppers from my garden along with the onions and chopped red pepper. I deseeded and deveined one jalapeno, but used the entire second jalapeno. I also used half a cup of low-fat sour cream and half a cup of fat free sour cream, which is what I had on hand, so, along with the extra lean turkey it ended up being a very low fat, healthy dish and was excellent! My husband and I both agreed that the jalapeno along with some extra salt, really made the dish. Oh, and also, I used about a TBSP of chopped fresh marjoram from my garden instead of the dried. Excellent!
