Stuffed Turkey the Moroccan way

 

 

This recipe is a request from my husband who loves Turkey. I was wondering how to stuff the Turkey? Do I use the normal stuffing with oranges and serve it at the end with orange sauce? or something else.

So I remembered watching a Moroccan show "Chhiwat bladi", the lady stuffed a turkey with a mixture of rice and almonds, I just loved it.

So I decided to stuff my Turkey with the same stuffing, it was delicious !

My husband said with the first bite that his mouth was dancing with

joy, I was very satisfied and happy to find a new stuffing for my poultry recipes .
