- I made this and it was really good... I added spinach, mushrooms and red/orange/yellow peppers, and it was fantastic. My friend loved it as well, and she does not do Kinetix. It also made good leftovers...

- My boyfriend made this for me and added spinach and mushrooms to it. It was fantastic even when I microwaved it at work the next day!

- This one was a hit with the family even though the kids thought it looked gross as I was assembling it.. I don't care for ricotta cheese, so used blended cottage cheese instead, and added some garlic to the turkey as it was browning. Very good, very filling.

- EASY peasey! This allows for lots of interpretation with spices or K0's, so add away.

- I made this recipe as is and the whole family really liked it. I sauteed the turkey with garlic to add some more flavor. I knew it was good because they all wanted 2nds but I wrapped it up before they had a chance!!! BTW it's very easy and satisfying.

- This is my new FAV! I can't believe it is only a K4...so tasty. I put in diced onion and minced garlic while browning the turkey & then added dried thyme & whole oregano to the spaghetti sauce mix. Very VERY yummy!

- This is great with a package of frozen spinach -- thaw, drain and add to the ricotta cheese mixture.

- REALLY GOOD!!! I forgot to add extra seasonings, so a little bland for my taste, but very cheesy! My whole family actually ate this one without complaints! Definitely a keeper!
