TURKEY AND RICE CASSEROLE WITH YOGURT TOPPING



Turkey and Rice Casserole With Yogurt Topping image

This Middle Eastern dish may include fried stale pita bread doused with chicken or turkey stock in a casserole and topped with the other ingredients. In the days after Thanksgiving, I'm likely to have all of these ingredients on hand -- except for pita, so here I've made it without.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h10m

Yield Serves six

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 teaspoon ground allspice
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
1 medium onion, chopped
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 cup basmati rice, rinsed in several changes of water
2 1/2 cups chicken or turkey stock
Salt to taste
3 garlic cloves
2 cups shredded turkey
2 cups drained yogurt or thick Greek-style yogurt
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup crushed or finely chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Mix together the allspice, cinnamon and pepper, and divide into two equal portions (1 teaspoon each). Set aside.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat in a heavy 2- or 3-quart saucepan. Add the onion and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until tender, about five minutes. Add the rice and 1 teaspoon of the spice mixture, and stir until the grains begin to crackle. Add 2 cups chicken stock and salt to taste (1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon). Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer 15 minutes until the liquid has been absorbed by the rice. Remove the lid, place a kitchen towel over the pot and then return the lid. Allow to sit undisturbed for 10 minutes.
  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Oil a 2-quart baking dish. Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet. Add the garlic. In a few seconds, as soon as it begins to smell fragrant, add the remaining spices and the turkey. Stir together for about a minute until the turkey is coated with the mixture. Remove from the heat. Season to taste with salt.
  • Spread the rice in the casserole in an even layer. Top with the turkey. Douse with the remaining stock.
  • Place the garlic in a mortar and pestle with a pinch of salt, and puree. Stir into the yogurt, along with the lemon juice. Spread over the turkey in an even layer, making sure to completely cover the meat so that it doesn't dry out in the oven. Sprinkle on the nuts. Place in the oven, and bake 15 to 20 minutes, just until warmed through. Do not allow the yogurt to bubble. Serve hot or warm.

TURKEY AND RICE CASSEROLE



Turkey and Rice Casserole image

This is a tasty, simple and convenient way to use leftover turkey and/or leftover rice, and a great casserole to take to a potluck. Note: Edited on 1/1/08 to reduce milk in ingredient list from 1 3/4 to 1 1/4 cups. I actually just fill a soup can with milk, but the ingredient list requires a measurement, and I took a guess.

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.

Provided by Kardea Brown

Categories     main-dish

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.
