So yummy...turkey and rice

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!!!
