CHEESY RICE CASSEROLE WITH TURKEY



Cheesy Rice Casserole with Turkey image

Gullah-Geechie cooking is all about one-dish meals, and this comforting rice casserole is just that. Instead of broccoli, which you'll commonly find in casseroles, I like to use a combination of shredded Brussels sprouts, carrots and red bell pepper for color and flavor.

Time 2h25m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless turkey breast
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup half-and-half
One 8-ounce carton sour cream
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium red onion, diced (about 3 cups)
1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and thinly sliced (about 5 1/2 cups)
2 carrots, diced (1 1/4 cups)
1 red bell pepper, diced (1 cup)
1 1/2 cups parboiled rice
1 cup shredded sharp white Cheddar
2 cups shredded sharp yellow Cheddar
Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking dish
1 cup panko breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place the turkey breast on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Bake until the turkey is done, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool 5 minutes, then dice.
  • Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and cook until it bubbles and begins to smell nutty, about 2 minutes. Slowly whisk in the chicken stock and half-and-half. Bring to a boil and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the sour cream and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, Brussels sprouts, carrots and bell pepper and sauté until the vegetables begin to become tender, about 5 minutes. Season with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
  • Combine the vegetables, rice, turkey, white Cheddar and 1 cup yellow Cheddar in a large bowl. Spoon the mixture into a lightly greased 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons butter in a small bowl or microwave-proof glass measure, then add the panko and stir to combine. Sprinkle over the top along with the remaining cup yellow Cheddar.
  • Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake until the liquid is absorbed, the rice is tender and the cheese is melted, about 15 more minutes.

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.

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Turkey     Legs

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.
