Recipe: Turkey and Rice Bake

We brought home just enough of the leftover turkey to make this dish so it was infused with a hint of smokiness.

TURKEY AND RICE BAKE

Serves 6

1 C long-grain rice

3 Tbsp butter, melted

1 can condensed onion soup

1 1/3 C water

½ C chopped bell pepper

½ C diced celery

10 oz boned turkey (can use canned)

3 oz mushrooms

2 slices yellow cheese, halved diagonally

Sliced ripe olives

Preheat oven to 350^o. Brown rice in butter in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Blend in onion soup and water, cover, and cook 10 minutes. Add bell pepper and celery, and cook covered 10-15 minutes longer or until rice is tender, stirring occasionally. Add turkey and mushrooms, and mix well. Transfer mixture into a greased 1 ½ quart casserole, and bake 15-20 minutes or until heated through. Remove casserole from oven, top with cheese slices in a pinwheel design, and return to oven just until cheese begins to melt. Garnish with olives.
