Couscous with turkey, oranges, and cashews is an amazing combination of flavors and textures that blends the sweetness of citrus, nutty crunchiness, and tenderness of meat. Despite its Japanese cuisine roots, this dish is infused with Mediterranean flavors. The couscous absorbs the aroma of the honey-orange marinade in which the turkey is simmered, filling it with a sweet spiciness. Crunchy cashews add a rich nutty note, while fresh cilantro completes the flavor composition, giving the dish lightness and freshness. Perfect for a cozy dinner or an unusual festive table, this dish will adorn any meal.
