Comments: 2/27/2015 - I substituted chicken tenders for turkey, cumin seed for ground cumin, 1 teaspoon of salt substitute for salt, diced tomatoes for stewed. I added a 4-oz can of chopped green chilies. I used 2 lb of meat instead of 1 1/2, and 1 1/3 cup of onion instead of 3/4. I forgot to cut up the tenders. It tasted good.
