    Wow, this recipe was really greater than the sum of its parts! It was absolutely fantastic. I made it exactly as written except: (1) I used more turkey, half dark and have white, and I chopped it up very very fine - almost like ground turkey; (2) I used a cup of whole wheat orzo instead of white macaroni; and (3) I used more than a pinch of cinnamon - like 1/2 tsp. These modifications, especially 1 and 2, made the mouthfeel for this just absolutely fantastic and luxurious. The flavor profile of this was just amazing.

    OK - this looks like a wonderful recipe. But my wife is making a turkey pot pie for dinner tonight, which will be different enough from the tryptophan coma from yesterday to still be a treat. (She makes a REALLY good crust with celery seeds, and I am looking forward to dinner tonight, despite eating an unhealthy amount of feast yesterday!) But if we STILL have more leftovers, this dish will be on the menu in a day or two. And indeed, I am a fan of the dark meat from turkey or chicken. Thanks, and thumbs up.
