    I make this, but do it in a slow cooker. My version calls for just putting lumps of turkey meat into sauce and then slow cooking. At end, mash the turkey into smaller bites. It is fabulous. - 2/5/17

    Loved that you could make it in one pan, pretty fast and easy. Good taste and a pleaser for the non-dieters. - 11/15/09
