My favorite for the last few years has included turkey sausage, lots of
dried fruit (apricots, cherries, raisins and cranberries,) chunks of
squash and a bit of saffron.  It's gotten rave reviews at my
mother-in-laws Thanksgiving blow-out every year.

However, my husband who doesn't eat 99% of the food on this planet has
never tried it because he doesn't like the ingredient list.  So, this
year I'm trying a new one with wild rice and chestnuts.  It looks like a
cool recipe, so I'm really looking forward to it!
