I've made this recipe about a dozen times and gotten lots of compliments, and I love it! I change it just slightly with the amount of seasonings I use: I use about a tablespoon each of chili powder, garlic salt, vinegar, and sugar. I add red pepper flakes depending on how spicy I want it. I add salt and pepper while the turkey is cooking. Then I use 2 cans diced tomatoes and around a cup of chicken stock. I do NOT cook the noodles in the chicken stock, I cook them separately and add them in at the end. And the parmesan cheese is key!

Not bad. No leftovers, but was a tad bland.

I MAKE THIS RECIPE JUST THE WAY IT IS AND IT IS WONDERFUL!...MY 3 YEAR OLD REALLY LOVES IT TOO AND HE DOESN'T LIKE ANYTHING BUT FRUIT AND CHERRY TOMATOES....COOKING THE BOW TIE PASTA IN THE BROTH GIVES IT SO MUCH MORE FLAVOR!...GREAT RECIPE!

Good comfort food. I made a lot of alterations (used chopped turkey instead of ground, used fresh chopped tomatoes, threw in some fresh basil and omitted vinegar and sugar). We really enjoyed.

Not one person in my family would touch it- including me. I got many dishes dirty prepping it while following it to the letter and still had to order pizza for supper.

I doubled the amount of meat and chicken broth and used rigatoni instead of bow tie, but otherwise made it exactly as listed - it was very tasty and my skeptical husband loved it!

I tweaked it using red pepper, less celery, rotini noodles, balsamic vinegar, my own home made turkey stock, and a dash of cumin and oregano. I was hesitant that they may not like it but my husband, 11 and 9 year old absolutely LOVED it! Not a drop was left and they licked their bowls clean. Highly recommended for a quick and easy meal.

This was okay but not my favorite. I didn't have any green pepper, so I put in a jalapeno pepper for flavor. I added some water to the chicken broth to make sure the pasta was covered. I didn't have vinegar, used garlic powder instead of garlic salt. I also used diced tomatoes with green pepper. Eh. I don't think it was my substituting - the recipe is just a little bland.
