We LOVED this! We substituted chicken for the turkey and I only had diced tomatoes so I added olive oil, balsamic and dried basil. My kids ate it up and asked for seconds. I would probably double the "sauce" next time just to have a little more but this was a quick and easy meal to make and it will definitely go into our weekly rotation.
