Thank you so much for posting this recipe! I used to make it when I was a teenager out of one of my mom's cookbooks and lost track of it, haven't been able to find it in ages! Turkey breast went on sale at the store and it was the first recipe that came to mind, Wonderful to find it here! As the previous reviewer stated it Can be bland when the measurements are exactly as stated but just get a little creative...I add Much more garlic than calls for (think 4 or 5 cloves...it mellows as it cooks) and much more lemon juice, usually the juice of the whole lemon I've zested (use all the zest, don't measure!), buying raw almonds and toasting them yourself gives the best flavor (dry cookie sheet, 325 degrees for just a couple minutes, they burn fast!) lastly golden raisins have a nicer flavor than the dark ones for this recipe...hope everyone else gives it a try and enjoys!

I followed the recipe exactly as written except for roasting the turkey an extra 15 minutes. When I was done, I had a nicely presenting dinner in a serving pan. However, I was somewhat disappointed with the result. I expected both the turkey breast and the couscous to be much more flavorful than they turned out to be. The recipe was easy enough to make, but it still seemed to be lacking a special "zing".
