Ingredients
For Topping
- ¾ cup breadcrumbs
- 3 tablespoons butter melted
For Turkey Rice Casserole
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 8 ounces mushrooms sliced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 1 cube chicken bouillon crushed
- 1½ cups rice long grain, uncooked
- 1½ cups water
- 1½ cups milk
- 3 cups turkey meat cooked
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 tablespoon parsley chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven the 375°F.
- In an oven proof large skillet heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until the onion softens. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until aromatic.
- Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes until they start to brown and cook down. Season with salt, pepper, chicken bouillon and stir. Stir in the rice and cook for 1 minute, until coated.
- Pour in the water, milk and bring to a simmer. Turn the heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 20 minutes or until most of the liquid has been absorbed by the rice. Taste for seasoning and adjust with salt and pepper as needed.
- Add the turkey and peas to the skillet and toss. Remove from heat.
- In a medium bowl combine the breadcrumbs with the butter and sprinkle over the top of the rice casserole.
- Transfer the casserole to the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the breadcrumbs turn golden brown.

Notes
- To remove any starch or debris it’s a good idea to rinse the rice by putting it in a strainer under cool running water. Doing this will result in fluffier cooked rice.
- While the rice is cooking it’s crucial that you do not remove the lid on the skillet for any reason. Doing so can potentially result in poorly cooked rice.
- The chicken bouillon and breadcrumbs already have salt in them. So the extra salt in regular butter is not needed and can even ruin the dish by making it too salty.
- . To reheat the leftovers, just sprinkle with a little water, cover them, and put them in the microwave for about 4 minutes on medium heat. You can also do this in the oven at 350°F (177°C) for about 12 minutes. Sprinkling with water will add some moisture as the casserole is reheating.
- ! Then reheat them in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes while still frozen. However, the time may differ depending on how much you reheat.
