Done in less than an hour, this hearty stew still tastes as though it's simmered all day, thanks to aromatic vegetables, turkey sausage, tomato paste, herbs, and chicken broth.

Pork Skewers with Couscous Salad

While the cashew- and cherry-studded couscous is good, what really steals the show in this grilled pork tenderloin recipe is the turmeric.

Garam masala, chili powder, and fresh lime also star in the unique (and uniquely tasty) meat marinade.
