    Very good recipe. I took heed of your warning of it not having enough 'kick' so used chipotle peppers with jalapeno, and then instead of tomato sauce, used a plain mexican canned salsa (contains tomato, onion, cilantro, spice) and boy was it kicky!! Overall, it's such a healthy recipe- so easy too. I made the turkey before work so that after, I only had to make the cornmeal and bake. Thanks for sharing! DH says it's a keeper! :)
