Hi Sharon! I am currently in my senior semester of chemical engineering...tough stuff! So ya, I haven't had nearly as much time to check the boards as I would like....plus I never get to cook! It's not fair! But anyhow, I'm so glad you liked the soup/stew (its more of a stew, but I usually add more liquid to make it more soupy...personal preference!!)...and after reading your message, I'm totally going to make this with turkey...I love ground turkey. When you made it early in the day, did you just let it sit in the pot? That would definitely be a time-saver to prepare ahead of time.
