Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced 1/4 inch thick
3 leeks (white and light green parts only), halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise
3 carrots, sliced 1/4 inch thick
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
Zest of 1 lemon (removed in wide strips with a vegetable peeler), plus 2 teaspoons lemon juice
3 bay leaves (preferably fresh)
12 ounces cooked turkey (white and dark meat; skin removed), cut into cubes (about 3 cups)
1 cup wild rice blend
6 cups baby spinach (about 7 1/2 ounces)

Steps:

  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a medium dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring once or twice, until well browned, about 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and cook until melted. Add the leeks and carrots and season with 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the leeks are softened, about 3 minutes.
