    I made these for my parents one night and we were all pretty happy. I went with ground turkey because I use chicken pretty often but I think these would be good made several different ways. The fresh orange juice added right at the end is nice. My one complaint was the filling fell out very easily. My mom suggested maybe using Boston Bibb next time.
