Thanks to the Redskins game on Sunday, I had left over turkey. I still have leftover turkey frozen from Thanksgiving and two whole uncooked turkeys in the freezer. I just LOVE turkey. So many different things to do with it.
Tonight, I tried a new turkey and rice casserole. I thought it was very yummy and am looking forward to having it again tomorrow for lunch.
Here's the recipe....
1 cup uncooked rice (although it will be cooked before it is mixed in the casserole)
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
1 1/4 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 Tbsp Minced onion
1/2 tsp poultry seasoning
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
salt and pepper to taste
Cook the rice according to the package (I used long grain brown rice so it took a little while to cook). Melt the butter, stir in flour until smooth. Gradually add broth and wine stirring constantly until thickened and smooth. Add onion and poultry seasoning. Mix in 1/2 of the cheese. Stir until melted. Combine rice, turkey, and sauce in a shallow baking dish. Sprinkle with the rest of the cheese. Bake at 375 for about 20-25 minutes or until bubbly and brown.
It was really good, but I think next time I might add some broccoli into it. It smelled a lot like the wine, but it didn't taste like there was too much. I didn't add any salt or pepper (we don't use much salt). I would definitely try this one again!!!
