This dish is a great way to use up leftover turkey. I also like to add a dollop of yogurt or sour cream to each serving.

I made a few substitutions to the recipe (I used quinoa instead of couscous and added some chopped kale) and it still turned out delicious!

I'm not a big fan of sweet potatoes, but this dish changed my mind! The sweet potatoes were perfectly roasted and paired well with the savory turkey and couscous.

This dish was a hit with my family! The sweet potatoes and turkey were cooked perfectly, and the couscous was fluffy and flavorful. I especially liked the addition of the cranberries and walnuts, which gave the dish a nice tart and crunchy contrast.
