I tried this last night, but I think I overcooked the turkey. It was dry. Any tips for juicy turkey?
Sweet potatoes and turkey? Sounds weird. Not sure about this combo. Why not just use chicken?
Easiest recipe ever! Definitely making this again next week. My kids loved it!
This recipe is a game changer! I love the flavors, especially the cumin and cinnamon together. 10/10!
