TURKEY RICE



Turkey Rice image

What ultimately sets a great holiday leftover dish apart from the rest? The answer: lots of flavor, not a lot of ingredients, and the ability to stand on its own rather than remind us of the meal it came from. This turkey rice, which is in fact a little more turkey than rice, checks all the boxes, and a fresh, 3-ingredient salsa adds the bright finishing touch.

Time 1h45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cooked turkey leg
1 cooked turkey thigh
½ cooked turkey breast, chopped
4 cups chicken broth, or more as needed
1 yellow onion, diced
¾ cup uncooked white rice
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 pinch freshly ground black pepper
1 pinch cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons minced green onions
2 tablespoons minced red pepper
¼ cup cilantro leaves, minced

Steps:

  • Combine leftover turkey leg, thigh, and breast meat in a stockpot over high heat; add chicken broth and onion. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and cover. Simmer, flipping turkey pieces over halfway, until meat falls off the bone, about 1 hour.
  • Transfer turkey pieces to a bowl and let cool until safe to handle.
  • Meanwhile, bring broth to a boil and stir in rice. Season with black pepper, cayenne, and salt. Reduce heat to medium and let rice simmer until it starts to plump up, about 10 minutes.
  • Pick turkey meat off the bone and chop into small pieces. Stir into the rice, adding more broth as needed. Cook over medium-low heat until rice reaches desired tenderness, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Smash green onions, red pepper, and cilantro together for the salsa. Taste and season turkey rice as desired, then scoop into serving bowls and top with salsa.
