Our Thoughts:
This turkey dish was really good.  The sauce was sweet with a hint of spicy tanginess from the Dijon mustard.  The turkey was moist and the sauce gave it the perfect extra kick of flavor.

The only thing I was thinking you could do a little differently is to lessen the amount of mustard, add a little more jam, and maybe chop up a jalapeno to make it a raspberry-jalapeno sauce.

Either way, this dish was worth the effort.

Hope you enjoy!
