Great flavors, I added a little red pepper as well and enjoyed the sweet/hot contrast. I know turkey will work but the texture of the chicken is definitely a plus. My wife is really picky and she loved it so that's all that matters to me. And yes, I do all the cooking. My wife can't make toast properly.

My sister-in-law and I were very skeptical of the raisins, but it turns out that the recipe is just delicious!!!

This was very easy and good... I had to make a few adjustments because I did not have the ground Chicken - I did use Turkey and a yellow onion instead of the Scallions - my husband loved it!!! Don't panic when you don't have exactly what is called for in the recipes!!!
