Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Pimientos are the familiar stuffing for green olives. A large, heart-shaped sweet red pepper, the pimiento is sweeter and more aromatic than the bell pepper. Pimientos are also dried and ground into paprika. Look for jars of pimiento in the pickle section of the grocery store.
  • tip 2
    Leftover cooked turkey can be substituted for the chicken.
