Expert Tips

Wild rice, native to North America, is actually a grass from a botanical view. It grows in shallow lakes and streams where it picks up selenium, a mineral that helps in the metabolism of vitamin E.

Frozen turkey breasts usually come with a netting on them to help keep them together. When cutting pockets in step 1, cut crosswise through the netting. Go ahead and cook with the netting on, then remove before carving the turkey.

I had high hopes for this, but 2 apples and a pile of dried cranberries sweetened this up entirely too much. It was very nearly inedible. I doubt I'll be making this again, but if I do, I'd probably cut the apples by 3/4.
