    Really tasty. I added a bit more tabasco sauce just to pep it up a litle bit more and it worked no problem.

    Great recipe for the left over turkey but next time I will use only one tbsp of flour (for a more liquid sauce) and add flat leaf parsley and any left over peas.

    Didn't have parmesan cheese but used stron cheddar which was very good. Even my husband (who is a picky eater) liked this.

    It's missing the extra flavour and texture from an old American recipe that I have used for many years but now lost. That's toasted flaked almonds. They just make it sublime. You can almost hear her sing!

    wish I'd gone with the extra tabasco.Sauce with pasta would have been OK - turkey added nothing.

    Lovely sauce - didn't have any mushrooms but added a red onion. Can be made into a vegatarian dish by adding quorn chicken pieces to the sauce instead of turkey. Whole family loved it.

    Great evening meal but it does need a good dash of tabasco (hence the 4 as without it it is bland). A recipe I had also included flaked almonds which my family don't like so I add 2 tbsp of ground almonds to the sauce, helps with the flavour but they don't have to pick out the almonds!! I also use fresh diced turkey and cook it whilst I am cooking the pasta.

    lovely flavour. used mixed veg and spinach as I didn't have mushrooms, I also didn't have sherry or cream, but it didn't affect anything, and it tasted lovely.

    A great alternative to Turkey Curry after Christmas with leftovers! We'll make this every boxing day instead from now on! Great!

    this is truly a lovely dish simple to make my family love it . I have also used a large tin of salmon instead of turkey and this was just as delightful

    We thoroughly enjoyed this dish. I added an onion to the mushrooms, used low fat fromage frais instead of cream and chilli puree instead of tabasco as that's what I had. It was simple and delicious.
