  1. I was a bit disappointed that the rice didn't fully cook. Still 5*, because the flavor more than made up for it. I think it needs 50 min. in step 7.
     
  2. Very tasty. I tried the suggestion of 45 minutes - that worked for us. This is definitelyy a welcome addition to my repretoire of turkey leftover recipes. Thanks!
     
  3. I don't know who or what LHJ is - but this was another good way to finish off the bird! I tried 50 minutes for step 7 as suggested by Evewitch but the rice was too mushy - perhaps the next person could try 45 minutes. Thanx Bev!
     
  4. What a wonderful disguise for leftover turkey, especially since I don't really like turkey!! I substituted wild rice for the brown rice (loved the crunch) and added a good size layer of fresh baby spinach between the rice and the chopped turkey (because I had an overstock of spinach that threatened to go limp).
     
  5. This was easy enough, although I burned my rice and had to sub beef broth for chicken. I used low-fat cream of mushroom soup. All of my leftover turkey is used up. Thanks!
