( Leftover ) Turkey Biryani With Red Onion and Cilantro

Submitted by English_Rose

"This hot biryani is ideal for using up roast turkey or chicken, left over from the big day. This recipe works equally well with fresh turkey. Dice 1lb fresh turkey breasts and saute with the red onion and carrot for 4-5 minutes. Continue to cook with the rice until the turkey is thoroughly cooked through."

The flavor is wonderful! The heat was waaay to hot for myself and DS, but DH loved it. I gave it 4 stars just because of the heat. We also added a dash or two of coriander....really nice recipe.
