TURKEY RICE
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.

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.

Steps:
- Turkey:
- If using a raw turkey breast, sprinkle turkey all over with salt; place on a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet and chill, uncovered, at least 6 hours and up to 1 day. (This will result in tender, flavorful meat.)
- Place turkey, scallions, ginger, and star anise in a stockpot. Pour in water to cover turkey by 1". Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, skimming foam from surface as needed, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of breast registers 150°F, about 75 minutes. Transfer turkey to a cutting board and let sit until cool enough to handle (internal temperature should rise to 165°F while the turkey cools).
- Strain stock through a fine-mesh sieve into a large heatproof bowl; discard solids. Pour 3 cups stock into a large heatproof measuring glass and set aside for sauce; reserve remaining stock for another use.
- Shred turkey with a fork or your hands, removing and discarding skin (or shred along with meat if you prefer).
- If starting with leftover turkey: Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread turkey in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle stock over, and cover tightly with foil. Cook until warmed through, about 15 minutes.
- Sauce:
- Heat lard in a medium saucepan over medium-low. Add shallots (it will not look like enough fat at first) and cook, stirring often, until softened into a single layer, then continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 20-25 minutes total. (Shallots will crisp as they cool.)
- Drain shallots in a fine-mesh sieve set over a heatproof bowl. Transfer shallots to paper towels to drain; set aside. (You don't need to salt them.) Heat shallot fat in a medium saucepan over medium. Add garlic and cook, stirring often, until fragrant and just starting to color, about 3 minutes. Add michiu, soy sauce, sugar, 2 tsp. white pepper, and reserved 3 cups stock (if you are using leftover turkey, use chicken broth instead). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce is reduced by half and glossy, about 25 minutes. Taste and add up to 2½ tsp. more white pepper if desired.
- To serve, divide rice among shallow bowls and pile shredded turkey over. Spoon 2-3 Tbsp. sauce over each bowl and top with reserved fried shallots.

Tips:
- Choose the right turkey: For a juicy and flavorful turkey, choose a fresh or thawed turkey that is about 1 pound per person.
- Brine the turkey: Brining the turkey helps to keep it moist and flavorful. You can brine the turkey in a simple salt and water solution, or you can use a more flavorful brine that includes herbs, spices, and citrus.
- Roast the turkey at a low temperature: Roasting the turkey at a low temperature helps to prevent the turkey from drying out. Roast the turkey at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for about 13-15 minutes per pound.
- Use a meat thermometer: To ensure that the turkey is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the turkey. The turkey is done when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the turkey rest before carving: Let the turkey rest for about 15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the turkey, making it more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Turkey with rice is a classic dish that is perfect for a special occasion. With a little planning and effort, you can make a delicious and impressive turkey dinner that your family and friends will love. Remember to choose the right turkey, brine it, roast it at a low temperature, use a meat thermometer, and let the turkey rest before carving. With these tips, you'll be sure to make a perfect turkey with rice.
