GARLIC BROTH WITH BASMATI RICE, TURKEY AND SQUASH
This is the kind of soup you can whip up on a whim if you have garlic on hand and either summer or winter squash. You can make a vegetarian version of the soup just by eliminating the turkey. Otherwise it is one more healthy option for your Thanksgiving leftovers. When I made the soup the first time I used a lingering half-zucchini that I found in my sister's refrigerator. At this time of year you might be more likely to have winter squash on hand. Either will work. Winter squash will take 10 to 15 minutes longer to cook.

Steps:
- Combine water, garlic, salt, bay leaf and thyme in a soup pot or saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 30 minutes. Taste and adjust salt. If you want a stronger flavor, simmer for another 5 to 10 minutes.
- Using a skimmer or a slotted spoon, remove garlic, bay leaf and thyme sprigs from broth. Bring back to a simmer and add rice and winter squash if using (but not the zucchini). Cover and simmer 10 minutes, or until rice and squash are tender.
- If using zucchini, add when rice is tender and simmer another 5 to 10 minutes, until soft but still bright. Stir in parsley and turkey and heat through. Taste, salt and pepper if desired, and serve.

Steps:
- In a medium saucepan melt the butter.
- Add cumin seeds and mustard seeds and cook over high until mustard seeds begin to pop.
- Add rice and squash and toss with seeds to mix thoroughly.
- Add water and salt, and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until squash is tender and water is completely absorbed - about 15 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes.
- Fluff rice before serving.
Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before starting, ensure all ingredients are prepped and measured. This will make the cooking process smoother and more efficient.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices will impart the best flavor to your broth. Opt for organic produce whenever possible.
- Roast the Vegetables: Roasting the vegetables intensifies their flavor and adds a touch of smokiness. Don't overcrowd the pan, as this will prevent even roasting.
- Simmer the Broth: Bring the broth to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer gently for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and develop.
- Strain the Broth: After simmering, strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any solids. This will result in a clean, flavorful broth.
- Season to Taste: Once the broth is strained, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or herbs until it reaches your desired flavor.
- Use High-Quality Rice: Basmati rice is a good choice for this recipe, as it cooks up light and fluffy. Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking to remove any excess starch.
- Cook the Turkey Properly: Turkey should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure it is safe to consume. Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature.
- Add Vegetables and Spices: Along with the turkey and rice, add a variety of vegetables and spices to the broth. This will create a flavorful and nutritious dish.
- Garnish before Serving: Before serving, garnish the soup with fresh herbs, such as parsley or cilantro. This will add a pop of color and freshness.
Conclusion:
Garlic Broth with Basmati Rice, Turkey, and Squash is a delicious and nutritious meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. The roasted vegetables add a depth of flavor to the broth, while the turkey and rice provide a hearty and satisfying base. This recipe is also versatile and can be easily customized to your liking.
