this recipe was in AARP adapted from Sara Moulton's Weeknight Meals. We tried it and found it delicious!! In fact so much so, we had a 32lb hen turkey in the freezer, cut her up and ground the meat so we can use for this recipe and others. It's an easy recipe to make and very good for you. They smell so good while mixing up, you can hardly wait. Yuuuuummmmm gooood!!! Ingredients:
