If you mix in the turkey with the filling, it doesn't make as much of a mess when you flip it.

We had this for a late, quick supper. It has a mild zip.

This was really good. A little messy if you're not that adept with a griddle. I'll be making it again for sure. My son and friend liked it as well.
