Cut each melon in half; remove seeds. Scoop out pulp and reserve.
Heat oil in a skillet and saute chicken or turkey. Add salt and
continue to saute until poultry is cooked through, about 15 minutes.
Blend in green onions, parsley and lemon juice; continue cooking
until onions are soft. Remove from flame and cool.

Add rice to cooled chicken mixture; stuff melon cavities. Chop up 1
cup of reserved melon pulp and place on top. Put stuffed melons into
an ovenproof dish; bake at 350 F. for 20 minutes. Serve hot.

The authors write: "Melon Baal Canaf is a dish that is said to
disappear as soon as it is placed on the table, as though it had
wings."
