This pilaf is fantastic with fish or poultry and especially compatible with turkey. Since it's so colorful, I like to think it makes my turkey dressed for the holidays. -Erica Ollmann, San Diego, California

This pilaf is a great way to use up leftover squash. It's also a great make-ahead dish. I often make it on the weekend and then reheat it for lunch or dinner during the week.
