Turkey Pilaf is one of the most favored of current trending meals on earth. It is easy, it’s fast, it tastes yummy. It’s appreciated by millions daily. They’re nice and they look wonderful. Turkey Pilaf is something which I have loved my entire life.
To begin with this particular recipe, we have to prepare a few components. You can have turkey pilaf using 17 ingredients and 10 steps. Here is how you cook that.
The ingredients needed to make Turkey Pilaf:
- Get 500 g cooked turkey, diced
- Take 3 onions, chopped
- Take 3 cloves garlic, chopped
- Make ready 1 leek, sliced (optional)
- Get 250 g button mushrooms, sliced
- Prepare 2 peppers, green, red or mixed,deseeded and sliced
- Get 2 sticks, celery, sliced
- Make ready 250 g unsmoked bacon, diced
- Prepare 400 g long-grain rice
- Get Large knob butter
- Take 1 litre turkey or chicken stock
- Make ready 375 ml dry white wine
- Get Ground black pepper
- Take Salt
- Take 1-2 tomatoes, cut into wedges
- Get Small bunch coriander, chopped leaves only
- Make ready 1 tsp sumac
Instructions to make Turkey Pilaf:
- Pre-heat oven to Gas Mark 3 or electric equivalent. My Neff Circotherm setting is 150C.
- Melt the butter in casserole and gently fry the onions, without stirring unless sticking, for 3 minutes.
- Add the garlic and stir and continue gently frying until both onions and garlic are tender, say another 2 minutes.
- Add the celery (and optional leek if wished), stir and fry for one further minute.
- Add the bacon, stir and continue gently frying for another 3 minutes.
- Add the turkey, peppers, mushrooms, rice, sumac and seasoning and stir thoroughly.
- Pour in the wine and stock and bring it all to the boil, occasionally stirring gently.
- Cover and transfer to the pre-heated oven and cook until the liquids are absorbed and the rice is sufficiently (but not over-!) cooked. This should take 35-40 minutes.
- It’s worth checking after about 25 minutes to ensure that the dish doesn’t “run dry” before the rice is cooked. This very rarely happens but a splash or two of water can be added if necessary. The aim is to have a moist but definitely not “wet” end-product: I.e., nice, tender and fluffy cooked rice.
- Either serve directly from the casserole or turn on to a warmed serving dish. Whichever you choose, garnish with tomato wedges, then sprinkle on the chopped coriander leaves and serve on hot plates.
