Riso al Tacchino e Burro (Rice with Turkey and Butter)
Indulge in a creamy, savory dish that embodies comfort and warmth, perfect for a cozy night in.
Begin by melting 1 tablespoon of butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing for about 3 minutes until translucent and fragrant.
Next, add the turkey, seasoning it with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring until the turkey is no longer pink.
In the same pan, pour in the rice and stir for 2 minutes to toast it lightly. This will enhance the flavor of the rice.
Then, slowly add the broth, stirring to combine everything. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until the rice is cooked and has absorbed the liquid.
Once done, remove the pan from heat and let it sit covered for another 5 minutes.
Finally, stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter until melted and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary before serving.
