"I can see how this recipe is the grand prize winner--delicious! I used homemade tomato sauce (my favorite tomato sauce recipe is Tomato Sauce Sicilian by The Frugal Gourmet--Jeff Smith). I don't make very many recipes twice, but I haven't found a better tomato sauce recipe yet (it is posted by Tree Hug on this site). I used more tomato sauce than the recipe called for because I like a little more sauce. I also used leftover turkey and turkey broth from Thanksgiving instead of chicken strips. It was a great new use for leftover turkey. Recipe courtesy of Taste of Home Contest Winning Annual Recipes 2009 and Janice Christofferson of Eagle River, Wisconsin. Thank you Janice!"

I love to try new recipes, and this is a wonderful site to find new additions. I rarely make the same thing twice because it's so much fun to try something different. My life long dream is to travel the world and eat my way around it.
