Super easy to make up, even for a beginner. I did use chicken instead of turkey, but it still tasted great. I even used a basil pesto recipe from this site instead of buying it.

This dish is also wonderful with country sausage and canned diced tomatoes instead of turkey and roasted peppers. I usually make garlic bread with it which compliments it very well. It is my husband's favorite and one the entire family enjoys! Tip: You can also buy pesto packets in the spices isle of your grocery store and follow the directions. It is much cheaper than purchasing canned pesto and takes up less room in the pantry.
