This pilaf is fantastic with fish or poultry and especially compatible with turkey. Since it's so colorful, I like to think it makes my turkey dressed for the holidays. -Erica Ollmann, San Diego, California

This pilaf was delicious! I used butternut squash and it turned out perfectly. The wild rice added a nice nutty flavor to the dish. I will definitely be making this again.
