Very good recipe. Quick and easy. I didn't have bulgar so I just omitted that ingredient and used ground chicken breast instead of turkey. It was delicious with some green beans on the side. My Grandson stopped by and tried it and remarked how great it was. Will definitely make many more times - 9/9/10
