Really good recipe. I made enough for lunches for the week. The ingredients are so inexpensive and goes a long way. It's healthy too so I will definitely be making this again.

This was great! I took other reviewers' advice and served it in pita bread with plain yogurt. Very satisfying. I also added only 2.5 cups of chicken broth. I had it as leftovers today wrapped in a whole wheat tortilla. It was still good, but I liked it better with the pita bread.

My changes: I used 3 garlic cloves, and also substituted good quality curry powder for the turmeric, coriander and cumin. Not sure how much, just added until it tasted perfect. For fun I added a bit of mint and cardamom, too. I used brown rice instead of basmati, and aduki beans instead of black (what was on hand). This is going to be in my regular rotation! It was very easy, most of the time spent was just waiting for the turkey and rice to cook - the house smelled amazing.

For more flavor, I doubled the amount of spices, and then drizzled cilantro-spiked yogurt sauce on top (2 cups plain whole-milk yogurt, 3/4 c finely chopped cilantro, 2 tbsp lemon juice)- a MUST.

I thought this was a great recipe. I did as someone else did and added about 1 small onion and seasoned the turkey with the same spices as called for in the rice mixture (added about 1/2 tsp of each in addition to the measurements suggested in the recipe), and added lots of black and cayenne pepper (I like it spicy). I personally love the yellow color of the rice brought by one of my best friends, turmeric. I also topped it with tons of fat free plain yogurt sprinkled with ground cumin and again covered the entire spread with more cayenne to step it up a notch. I topped one half with diced cilantro and the other with diced parsley then alternated bites for a tasty good time. Portion was large, but I get to have it for lunch all week... sweet. Good stuff and would definitely recommend it. – Jesse Todhunter

WOW, this is one flavourful dish!! I only used one can each of the beans (only making it for the 2 of us) and only had about 3/4 lb of ground turkey. I did keep all other ingredients as is except cut the cayenne in half (due to experience with other recipes using cayenne). Per some other reviewers, I didn't use a full quart of chicken stock (maybe about 2 1/2 cups) and it all came together beautifully, with a nice kick too! Oh, I didn't add the cilantro as we don't like it and just eyeballed my fresh parsley as a whole bunch would have been overkill in my opinion! Also, this makes a ton and the leftovers are just as fantastic...maybe even better!

Delicious! I've made this recipe multiple times. You can really play with it if you're missing ingredients. If you don't want yellow rice, don't add the turmeric. I've used different types of rice and they all taste great. The timing, of course, just changes for each one. I sub almonds for the pine nuts since they're so expensive. You can also sub in peanuts. Either way, you should cook the nuts in a little oil on the stove first to bring out the flavor. Serve with a plain yogurt or sour cream and an Arabic salad (chopped tomatoes and cucumbers with lemon juice, salt, and pepper). It's a huge recipe so I always half it for 5-6 people.

This was very good! I added chopped onion and a small amount of tomato juice from a can of tomatoes. I also squeezed a little lemon when it was ready to serve.

This is the second time I've made this - I wanted to make it again for my parents because I thought they'd really like it too. I did only use one can of black beans and one can of chickpeas but the same amount of turkey. If I was making the dish for myself, I'd add more spices than called for. They are not as adventurous when it comes to eating as I am when cooking, so I stuck to the recipe amounts... Instead of adding pine nuts, I like sprinkling slivered almonds toasted in butter on top.

I thought this was a little bland, despite all the spices. I would cut the beans in half, first so I could taste those spices, and second because this receipe made sooo much, we were eating this for days!
