  • “We just finished a very early dinner and the aroma of that dinner still lingers throughout the house. Pamela, this was a big hit! My students (all guys) had finished there finals today and plan a round of pre-holiday parties, thus the early dinner. The only change was I used ground turkey for my meat. I doubled the marinade because I planned to use it for the rice and was I glad I did!. First, I baked the patties until they were a bit crusty around the edges, basting several times. Second, I made steamed white rice that I added about two heaping tbls. of marinade to the water. With the rest of the marinade, I heated it up with additional orange juice and one ice cube sized roasted garlic, which added the the creaminess of the sauce. This went over the rice. I also served Apricot-Glazed Green Beans (a zaar recipe) with it. This was ++++five star recipe. My whole house thanks you!”
