    This was easy and yummy - one that I will make again for sure. I used regular tomatoes, but that was the only change from the original recipe. Very Good. - 10/9/09

    Oh my goodness that was yummy! I used whole wheat pasta and fresh spinach instead of frozen. I also used the Italian Herb ground turkey breast instead of adding italian seasoning. The only ingredient I excluded was the gree chilies... My mom's allergic. It turned out fantastic! - 6/26/09

    This is AWESOME!! I used whole wheat penne pasta and cut up pieces of turkey from one that I roasted. It was a tad spicy, my husband and I liked it, but the kids complained about it. Next time I will cut up the spinach first and use plain diced tomatoes. - 2/2/09

    This was fantastic!!! I did not add the sour cream or parmesan cheese (because we were out) and I thought it turned out great! My husband thought it was delicious and said the next day that he had been looking forward to the leftovers all day. Definitely a keeper! I will make this again. - 9/22/08

    I was pretty disappointed by how this one came out. I think I was expecting a lot out of this recipe because the ratings are so high. Neither my husband or I liked it very much. It was just ok and I won't be making it again. - 9/24/12

    I made this according to directions, using whole what pasta. It was sooo good and big portions. I cut it into 8 pieces and froze the rest for next week's lunch. Thank you for a great recipe! - 7/7/12

    Very good and so full of flavor, we did not miss all the extra cheese that I would usually have put on a casserole like this. Will be one of our favorites and will definately make again. - 6/21/12

    Omg! This is to die for. I followed the recipe exactly, except for cutting it in half since there are only two of us. I still used the whole can of tomatoes and the full package of spinach (we love veggies) and it still had all the flavor!! I love this and will be making all the time!! - 7/11/15

    I loved it! I used whole wheat spaghetti, hot rotel and fat free yogurt instead of sour cream. It froze well too! Next time I'm adding mushrooms and zucchini. - 8/1/13

    Just made this and couldn't wait to rave about it! The combination of the hot peppers with the creaminess of the sour cream is super. The only change I made was to add a quarter of a few mushrooms and bit of red and green pepper chopped to the onion sauté. - 7/26/13

    I used fresh spinach. make sure to cook onion and garlic till starting to brown. Was really good with leftover turkey from Thanksgiving from freezer, probably be better with turkey sausage?!?!?? - 1/23/12

    Overall, this recipe is easy to make, delicious, and nutritious. I do make modifications though. I use whole grain pasta, use plain Greek yogurt instead of sour cream, use only parmesan cheese (mozzarella is just too caloric), and add lots sauteed veggies like zucchini, squash, mushrooms, etc. - 8/1/11

    Sounds great, I'm looking at trying this, but I absolutely MUST find a way to lower the sodium before doing so. - 7/19/11

    This was a great recipe! I added mushrooms and doubled the amount of Turkey so that we could have leftovers. I ended up with about 36 grams of protein. - 7/19/11

    This was amazingly flavorful. I did substitute frozen spinach for fresh baby spinach. Thumbs up from my 18 month old and 4 year old!! I will definitely be placing this one in my recipe box. Thanks for a great recipe. - 6/21/11

    This was absolutely incredible. Used Italian Ground Turkey which really kicked-up the flavor. Didn't have the recommended amount of sour cream, but it turned out wonderful regardless. Passed this recipe on to several others. Keeper and will make again. - 4/8/09
