Brown Rice Turkey Soup
1 cup diced sweet red pepper
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup sliced celery
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons butter or stick margarine
3 (14.5 ounce) cans reduced sodium chicken broth
3/4 cup white wine or additional reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 cups cubed cooked turkey breast
1 cup instant brown rice
1/4 cup sliced green onions
In a Dutch oven, saute the red pepper, onion, celery and garlic in butter for 5-7 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Add the broth, wine or additional broth, thyme and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in turkey and rice. Bring to a boil; simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until rice is tender. Garnish with green onions.
Start with one of the soups, Use the turkey breast and cook with some of your herbs, and you've got 3 options, mashed/roasted potatoes, Rice, or Noodles, i'd use the rice. Then do a carrot and celery, garlic mix.
Anything you can do with chicken or pork, you can do with turkey. It gives a new twist on an old favorite.
You definitely could do the same thing you do with chicken.
Here is a recipe I found for Turkey Noodle casserole that is delicious.
INGREDIENTS:
1 package (10 ounce) frozen peas, thawed under cool running water
2 cups diced cooked turkey (or ham)
1 1/2 cups cooked noodles
butter
1/4 cup chopped onion
8 ounces sliced mushrooms
1 can (10 1/2-ounce) cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup milk
salt, to taste
1/4 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
PREPARATION:
Combine turkey, noodles, and peas in a buttered 2-quart baking dish or casserole. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan. Sauté onion and mushrooms until tender; blend in soup, milk and seasonings and cook, stirring, until well blended and hot.
Pour soup mixture over the turkey and noodle mixture; top with shredded cheese. Bake in a 350° oven for about 25 to 30 minutes, until hot and bubbly.
Serves 4. If you only need it for 2 you could cut the recipe in half or have left overs for another day. Good luck
