Steps:
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Saute the onion in 1 tablespoon of hot oil until it begins to soften. Stir in the rice, turmeric and cumin and cook, stirring until rice is coated.
- Add the chicken or turkey stock and raisins; bring to boil; reduce heat and cover. Cook rice for 17 minutes, until liquid has been absorbed and rice is tender. Stir in peas and almonds. Season with pepper and, if desired, salt. Set aside.
- Lightly grease a three-quart casserole with olive oil. Lay one sheet of phyllo in casserole so that the dough overhangs edge of casserole. Lightly brush with some of remaining oil. Top with second sheet, at right angle of first sheet, and oil. Continue until five sheets have been layered.
- Place half the rice mixture on the phyllo; top with turkey and then top with remaining rice.
- Arrange one sheet of phyllo over rice and brush lightly with oil; repeat with remaining two sheets. Trim edges so that only enough dough hangs over to tuck into sides of casserole. Brush top with oil and bake for 30 minutes, until top is golden brown and sides are beginning to brown. Cool about 10 minutes and serve.

[email protected]This dish was okay. The flavors were good, but the rice was a bit too mushy for my taste. I think I would try cooking the rice for a little less time next time.

[email protected]I've made this dish several times and it's always a hit. It's easy to make and the results are always impressive. The only thing I would change is to add a bit more spice. Other than that, it's a perfect dish.
