I was so excited to make this, but was not impressed at all. I found it to be a little bland. Followed the recipe to a tee, using only fresh ingredients, but it was lacking salt and heat. If I try it again, I think instead of turkey, some shrimp and chorizo might give it the kick it needs.

This dish is amazing!! Have made this twice in the past week. I used leftover rotisery chicken that I had on hand, and whole grain pasta to up the nutritional value. Other than that pretty much followed the recipe to a T. Using all fresh ingredient in this dish is the key!! Love!!

I just bought Guy's new book, "Guy Fieri Food". My first recipe from the book and it was better than I expected. Very flavorful and another level of flavor when you squeeze a little lime juice at the table. My son dubbed it "awesome". I had my deli person cut a 1/2 inch thick slice of baked turkey for me...it was about 8 ounces. The recipe doubles easily too. Don't be afraid to double any of the ingredients, i.e., jalapenos, garlic, tequila, etc. This is another notch in my kitchen gun and will be used without a doubt.
