I gave it 5 stars, but I made quite a few changes based on my families preferences. My version came out very tasty.

Overall, I would give this recipe 4.5 stars. After reading others' reviews, I used 2.5 onions. My grocery store didn't have turkey thighs, so I used 6 turkey drumsticks (a little over 5 lbs. This is a recipe that needs to be checked throughout cooking. At the very beginning, I added about 1/2 cup of water with everything.

I cooked the stew on low for about 4 hours, carefully stirred the veggies on top pouring some of the juices over them, then high for about 2 hours. After 6 hours total, I removed the fruits and veggies as they were already tender, and I didn't want them to get mushy. After about another 30-40 minutes, the meat was done and I removed the bones. We ate this over jasmine rice with the cilantro/parsley topping and served with a wedge of lemon. The flavor was not too sweet, a little smoky with the turkey, and I liked the different notes the veggies added, especially the butternut squash, carrots, and chickpeas. Makes about 8 servings.

Yum! I used 5 carrots instead of the 8 and chicken instead of turkey. I also served the stew over Basmati rice and with garlic naan. I will definitely make this dish again!

I loved this dish. I'm not one to follow the recipe exactly, so I put two red onions instead of three, used crushed tomatoes and 6 carrots cut smaller, so they wouldn't be as crunchy, and used fresh peppers instead of dried. It turned out amazing, I didn't mind the sweetness, because the ciltanro sauce cut that for me. And I served it with fresh Rosemary-Sea Salt bread I got from Wegmans. I will be making this dish again....

Good and healthy too. It was a little on the sweet side but the parsley/cilantro sauce and spice balanced out the sweetness, definitely make the herb sauce. Made quite a bit more than 6 servings. Next time, less apricots and raisins and more spice!

I had hoped for better. I was sweet, a bit to much so at times, but nothing really balanced it. I was sadly disappointed.

It should have minus stars as it was so terrible that I threw it away. 3 raw onions in a crock-pot recipe equals total raw onion flavor. One hour after squeezing all that food into the pot, I opened the lid, whiffed, and immediately pulled out all of the onions I could see. At the end of cooking time, the carrots were still too crunchy while the squash towards the bottom was totally mushy. I pulled out the turkey and tasted it. What a mistake!! An entire box of altoids throughout the day couldn't get that onion taste out of my mouth. I tossed it all.

This recipe is very good. Followed the recipe to the letter, except that I reduced the salt (thought 3 teaspoons was too much and the omitted the red chili peppers, since I did not have any-- so, It turned out a bit on the sweet side, but still good.
It's not a 5 because I found it had too many apricots and too many onions.
Next time, I'll add the full amount of salt, replace the chili peppers with red crushed pepper flakes, and reduce the amount of onions and apricots-- I wish I had read the other reviews before I had made it.
All in a all a good recipe- Full of healthy veggies, and the cilantro sauce is amazing!

Soo so good! I used 4# chicken legs instead of turkey, just 2 onions, one less carrot (because there were only 7 in the bag and 32 oz precut squash. Was worried there would not be enough liquid, however with the lid locked down for 6 hours it turned out phenomenal!
