Tuscan Turkey Torte

i made this on a whim the other night and it was a success. i would change a few things which i did note in the recipe...it definitely needed some seasoning. i love tastefully simple spinach and herb seasoning which i need to get some more of, while i'm thinking of it. italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper would work as well. if you like tomatoes you could add some of those before you sprinkle with cheese...just make sure they aren't very wet. i actually topped mine with brushcetta which was delicious!! use a springform pan if you have one...if not you could use a 9x9 glass baking dish...or a different one if you have something similar. one other thing i did was used chicken instead of turkey...you could use rotisserie chicken which would probably be very good. and one last thing you could do is use a frozen creamed spinach which would add some extra flavor too. let me know if you make this and what changes you made. total cost was about $8...makes a lot too!
