(For a nice crunchiness substitute '¼ cup walnuts or water chestnuts for celery.

For a more delicate texture try ¼ cup currants and raisins; you'll have a sweet sort of gravy on the bottom of the panQthis is my favorite. Dish can also be made with bone-in turkey or chicken breasts, but add about 10 minutes to baking time.) From the files of Al Rice, North Pole Alaska. Feb 1994 Submitted By SERGE CYR On 11-24-95
