Only change we made was to use sweetened dried organic cranberries (not craisins) instead of plain as those were all that was available. In the future, I would do the following... Halve the salt Halve the celery seed Dice celery much smaller - 1/8” chunks Overall, the texture was good but the celery was too large and the flavor too intense and it was too salty. I think with a few tweaks this could be a standout meal. Would most definitely cook again with the changes made.
Loved this recipe! The dried cranberries enhanced the flavor a lot. I was worried that there weren't more flavorful vegetables than celery, but it actually turned out perfectly. Here are the modifications I made: - I used 1 tsp of salt only as recommended by other commenters, which was perfect! - I used only 1 lb of turkey. - I used pomegranate infused dried cranberries.
Teaspoon salt - not tablespoon. But otherwise lovely.
If you substitute one tablespoon of celery salt for both the salt and the celery seeds, this is a good recipe!
