The impetus for this cookbook is mainly chicken. But while a turkey is not a chicken, who's keeping score that closely? As a result I have included numerous turkey dishes among the recipes. In addition there a number of seafood recipes that add a bit of diversity. Of course if you are privy to some of the more exotic bird life, they should do just as well. Where a recipe calls for ground turkey, ground chicken may be substituted, if available. And real bacon can be substituted for the turkey "bacon" where it is used. But that would be defeating the no-red-meat concept.
