Description

Ground turkey, beans, polenta, and just the right seasonings make this dish amazing! My family devours this time and time again. I love the way the polenta makes a crust! Soooo good. I can’t remember where the recipe came from but I have made it my own and perfected it. I know you will love it, too.
