Ingredients

• STUFFING:

• 2 * 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 * 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 * 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1/2 * 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel
• 1/4 * 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 * 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• *
• 1-1/2 * 1-1/2 cups boiling water
• 1 * 1 cup uncooked couscous
• 1 * 1 medium carrot, shredded
• 1/2 * 1/2 cup raisins
• 1/3 * 1/3 cup chicken broth
• 1/4 * 1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted
• 2 * 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

Preparation

Step 1

* Carefully loosen turkey skin, leaving it attached at the back. Combine the oil, lemon juice, garlic, lemon peel, salt and pepper; spread under turkey skin. Place turkey to one side in a shallow roasting pan coated with cooking spray.
* For stuffing, in a bowl, pour boiling water over couscous. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes or until water is absorbed. Add the remaining ingredients; toss to combine. Spoon stuffing into other side of pan, shaping into an 8-in. x 5-in. x 2-in. mound. Cover pan and bake at 325° for 45 minutes.
* Uncover turkey; leave stuffing covered. Bake 40-50 minutes longer or until a meat thermometer reads 170°. Cover turkey with foil and let stand for 15 minutes before slicing. Serve with stuffing. Yield: 8 servings.
