Moroccan turkey stew

I am so happy to report that The Hubby really loved this stew!  When we first got together, he thought it was totally bizarre to put fruit in anything besides breakfast foods.  I love to see how his tastes have changed over the last few years, and it makes me so excited for the future because I can start making more of the recipes that I really want to try!

Anyway, this is an easy, crock-pot recipe that is fantastic for a chilly day (and we have had some doozies here in Kentucky!)
