Savor post-Thanksgiving bliss with Chef John's turkey and rice dish - leftover turkey meat simmered with rice and broth for a flavor-packed meal.
Ingredients:
  • 1 cooked turkey leg
  • 1 cooked turkey thigh
  • 0.5 cooked turkey breast, chopped
  • 4 cups chicken broth, or more as needed
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 0.75 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
  • 0.25 cup cilantro leaves, minced
Instructions:
  • In a large pot over high heat, combine the leftover turkey leg, thigh, and breast with chicken broth and onion. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the turkey is falling off the bone, around 1 hour. Flip the turkey pieces over halfway through cooking.
  • Place the turkey pieces into a bowl and allow them to cool until they are safe to touch.
  • In a saucepan, bring the broth to a boil, then stir in the rice. Season with black pepper, cayenne, and salt. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer the rice until it starts to plump up, approximately 10 minutes.
  • Shred turkey meat and finely chop. Mix it with the rice, adding broth as necessary. Simmer over medium-low heat until rice is tender, about 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Combine green onions, red pepper, and cilantro in a bowl to make the salsa. Season the turkey rice to taste, then serve in bowls topped with the salsa.
