Cooking Directions
-
Combine leftover turkey leg, thigh, and breast meat in a stockpot over high heat; add chicken broth and onion. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and cover. Simmer, flipping turkey pieces over halfway, until meat falls off the bone, about 1 hour.
-
Transfer turkey pieces to a bowl and let cool until safe to handle.
-
Meanwhile, bring broth to a boil and stir in rice. Season with black pepper, cayenne, and salt. Reduce heat to medium and let rice simmer until it starts to plump up, about 10 minutes.
-
Pick turkey meat off the bone and chop into small pieces. Stir into the rice, adding more broth as needed. Cook over medium-low heat until rice reaches desired tenderness, 10 to 15 minutes.
-
Smash green onions, red pepper, and cilantro together for the salsa. Taste and season turkey rice as desired, then scoop into serving bowls and top with salsa.
Cooking Tips:
Use any cooked turkey pieces you have. I ended up with about 14 ounces of picked meat.
Substitute broth with chicken stock or turkey broth/stock if desired.
I used medium-grain, but any rice will work.
Use any red pepper, sweet or hot, that you like.
