i admit i was a little skeptical about the sweet potatoes, but everything worked together and the turkey was delicious. we had it over steamed brown rice for dinner and i ate the leftovers cold over salad greens and it was just as good!!!

Very nice! A great recipe, my husband and I enjoyed it completely. I enjoyed the ease that it came together and the blend of flavors both sweet and spicy!

Pretty simple to make. I found the mixture fairly thick, with the consistency of sloppy joes. It really reminded me a lot of a "Thai" version of kheema mattar. Although I might have preferred this with a little lime juice added, I enjoyed this quite a lot. Thanks for posting and good luck in the contest!
