Notes

  • Long grain white rice works best for even cooking.
  • Add a splash of extra broth if the rice needs a few more minutes to soften.
  • Cheddar, Monterey Jack, or mozzarella all work well here.
  • Ground chicken can be used instead of ground turkey.
  • Leftovers reheat well with a small splash of broth or water.
