"I adopted this recipe from Zaar and after making it the way it was originally posted; I altered it so it would have more of a tropical flavor. The salsa really makes this quick and easy dish look and taste wonderful. I served the turkey with a side of roasted sweet potatoes and a salad. The leftovers make the best turkey salad sandwiches I have ever eaten – so make more than you will eat if you want sandwiches the next day!"

Wow! Luscious! Beware people with diabetes - the nutrient breakdown is for 2 servings. This recipe can feed 6 easily. Don't take your insulin before you know how many servings you are going to split it into! Don't rely on what's listed here!!

The salsa was great and enjoyed it together with the turkey tenderloin. The optional crust with the nuts is a must!

The games are addictive and a great opportunity to meet the members of this community. I had a blast co-hosting the first Zaar World Tour 2005 with ~Leslie~. Zaar World Tour II doubled in size and ~Leslie~ and I were joined with co-hosts Mamaï¿½s Kitchen and kzbhansen. Zaar World Tour 3 doubled again in size and Leslie, Mama's Kitchen and I were joined with SusieD, PanNan and JustCallMeToni! We also established the "Whine and Cheese Gang" which was a wonderful team that was put together to help all the teams playing. Zaar World Tour IV will be bigger and even better!!!
