My mother-in-law introduced me to this recipe. It was the first time I went round to eat at the in-laws and I fell in love with this really tasty turkey dish full of apricots and cheese. The photo in the picture is the actual one that she dished up all those years ago; I couldn't bear to part with the original photo. She also served it with roast parsnips and steamed carrots, it was so good we all had a second helping.
Turkey is a great tasting protein so it shouldn't be reserved just for special occasions like Thanksgiving or Christmas. This baked turkey dish has a creamy cheese sauce and contains apricots, which give it a wonderful sweet and savoury taste all in the same mouthful. So if you want to get a bit more fruit and veg into the kids, then they'll never realise that what they're eating is actually quite good for them—especially as it's got potato chips on the top!
