Turkey and tomatoes are high on my list of favorite foods. My husband grows the best tomatoes ever and I made up this recipe to complement both ingredients. It's wonderful anytime of year, but I prefer to make it when the tomatoes, green peppers, basil and garlic are all fresh from our garden. —Carol Brunelle, Ascutney, Vermont
