Very easy, took about 40 minutes. Definately use cumin when cooking the turkey, maybe even some of the chili powder. I added some red pepper flakes, we like it hot, and could have used more. Also consider using a jalepano. If you double the turkey, be sure to add more onion, tomato sauce (or one 6oz can tomato paste with a full can of water,) bbq sauce, corn and green bell pepper. I used whole wheat pasta and couldn't even tell. It was excellent! My fiance had 3 servings, and there was leftovers!
I made the recipe exactly as the instructions called for and it was wonderful. We have lots left over so it can easily be cut down. I was surprised at how well the BBQ sauce added flavor with the chili powder. And for WW people it's only 6 points a serving and it's healthy!
I absolutely loved this recipe! I did make a few changes like added kidney beans and a can of tomatoe paste and a can of water. And i added some red pepper for some fire. And i did not include the corn or the green pepper. Overall it was a very thick hearty and very tastey meal!
WHAT AN AWESOME RECIPE! I thought it was easy to prepare and I'd like to share my tips. I cooked the pasta the night before and defrosted a 10 oz package of corn to save time. In the morning I browned the turkey with onion minced garlic and garlic powder to give it more flavor. I added cumin for smokiness and crushed red pepper flakes for a little kick. I saved about a cup of the starchy pasta water to bind the sauce together instead of using bland tomato sauce. I used a can of diced tomatoes with oregano garlic and basil for more flavor. I had a bag of frozen peppers and onions in the fridge so I put them in the processor to chop them and added a half cup of them to the hot tub. It turned out really tasty and really fast in less than 20 minutes I was done. So figure friendly and lower in fat sodium and cholesterol than old school hamburger helper. Thanks Dimple2000 for the recipe.
We didn't care too much for this. The BBQ flavor overwhelms everything else so I didn't really matter that I added cumin crushed red pepper black pepper and garlic. Served with shredded cheese on top. My boyfriend ate 2 servings but I think he was just really hungry because he said this was a 2 star recipe. I ate mine with sour cream which helped cut the BBQ flavor down a bit. Thanks:)
Due to my husband being a picky eater I omitted the onion and used onion power the green pepper and used a couple pinches of regular black pepper and tomato sauce and used tomato paste. Still turned out very tasty. You can change out the flavors of barbecue sauce to suit your particular taste. Very versatile and easy recipe:)
Very easy and my six year old loved it - Very child friendly!
I really had to spice this up for my family's taste. I added garlic cumin and chipolte hot sauce. I also used ground beef. I put shredded cheese and sour cream on the table so they could top it like another person suggested. In the end this was tasty and very simple to throw together. My higher rating was based more on how quick you can put dinner on the table.
This recipe was very good. I used ground beef instead of turkey. Tabasco sauce helped give it even more of a kick. You can put sour cream and cheddar cheese on top too.
