W/O Tequila and STILL 5*!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made it exactly how it calls for it but I just didn't use Tequila. The reason for that was I didn't want to spend the... extra money on a great tequila and didn't want to go cheap either so I left it out and this dish still turned out awesome believe it or not. I added some cooked chicken breast that was cut into very small pieces from the night before along with the turkey and gave you 2 different taste that worked very well. I will make this again with some Patron or Don Julio and I'm sure to enjoy it. Thanks Guy!Read more

Bursting with Flavor!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

To all reviewers claiming this recipe was "bland," "no flavor,"- You NEED to use whole, fresh ingredients to get the taste... Guy is after. That means fesh lemon/lime juice (NOT from the plastic lemon), fresh cilantro (NOT dried herb), freshly sliced onion and jalepeno (not dried herb or canned), freshly minced garlic (NOT dried powder or out of a jar). REAL tequila (for those against alcohol, the alcohol BURNS off, and all you are left with is the tangy taste). Made as written, this is an excellent, flavorful recipe!Read more

Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Delicious! I added prosciutto to it and chopped up the turkey instead of slicing. Everything mixed together well that way.... Great recipe, easy to prepare and adjust by adding different ingredients.Read more

pretty good
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I thought this was pretty good for leftover turkey. I was hoping the sauce would be a little creamer.
