Instructions
- Heat the oil in a dutch oven or stock pot over medium heat. Sautee the onion, celery, carrots, pepper, and garlic until soft, 4-5 minutes. Stir in the basmati rice and continue to cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring often.
- Add the leftover turkey, seasonings, herbs and stock. Mix well to combine and bring to a boil.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl whisk well the flour with 2 tbsp water and stir it into the soup.
- Once the soup boils, reduce the heat to low and add the coconut cream and lemon juice.
- Cook on low for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is done. Make sure you stir into the pot for a few times during cooking, to avoid the rice sticking to the bottom.
- Remove and discard the bay leaf and adjust the seasoning, if needed.
- Season with thyme and enjoy!
Notes
- Turkey: Feel free to swap the turkey with shredded chicken. If you want to keep this vegetarian, you can use a different protein such as chickpeas.
- Vegetables: Add more or swap vegetables of your choice if you’d like! If you have leftover spinach, broccoli, peas, green beans, etc.
- Rice: If you have cooked leftover rice, you can simply just stir it into the end of the soup. If you use a different type of rice, be sure to adjust the timing accordingly (ie. wild rice and brown rice take longer than white rice).
- Make sure you stir into the pot a few times during cooking, to avoid the rice sticking to the bottom.
