Directions
Prepare the couscous according to package directions, substituting chicken broth or stock for the water.
In the olive oil, sauté the carrots, peppers and chives for about 3 minutes.
Toss with the cooked couscous, dried cherries, salt and pepper.
Be careful not to over mix.
Keep warm and arrange on the same platter as the cooked turkey.
** If dried cherries are not available, raisins can be substituted.
