Description
You can use long grain white rice for all or part of the wild rice, but reduce simmering time to 20 to 30 minutes.
Ingredients
•
3 (10 1/2 ounce) cans condensed chicken broth
•
2 cups water
•
1/2 cup finely chopped green onions
•
1/2 cup uncooked wild rice
•
8 slices bacon
•
1/2 cup margarine
•
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
•
1/2 teaspoon salt
•
1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning
•
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
•
2 cups half-and-half cream
•
1 1/2 cups cooked, diced turkey meat
•
2 tablespoons dry sherry
Directions
1
In a large pot over medium heat, combine chicken broth, water, green onions and wild rice. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until rice is tender, 35 to 40 minutes.
2
Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp. Allow to cool and then crumble. Set aside.
3
When rice is tender, melt the margarine in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir in flour, salt, poultry seasoning and pepper all at once. Cook, stirring, until smooth and bubbly. Stir in half-and-half and cook until thickened, 2 minutes. Stir half-and-half mixture into rice mixture. Stir in bacon, turkey and sherry. Heat through and serve.
