Reviews
Loved it! Didn’t need butter for polenta.
Used lean turkey. Trying to lower my cholesterol. My 12 year old loved it. Healthy comfort food.

Great flavors and very easy to make. Adding to the rotation.
Delicious! I followed the directions that were on the bag for the polenta, but used 1/2 milk and 1/2 chicken broth like Rachael recommend. Fantastic, tasty, and quick dinner.
