This was terrific. the Polenta was creamy and rich, and the Turkey was tangy and Flavorful. When i tried this dish i couldn't stop eating it, the two components of Polenta and Turkey would have stood on there own, but together it was really incredible. I would have this again any day. putting the recipe together was not hard at all and the results were great.
