Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oil in a pan and gently fry the onions and garlic until softened, about 5 mins. Add the spices and rice, then stir-fry for 1-2 mins. Pour in the hot stock and simmer until the stock is nearly all absorbed, about 20-25 mins. Stir in the turkey, add seasoning, then continue cooking until warmed through. Scatter over the nuts and coriander. Divide between two bowls and serve with a dollop of cranberry sauce.

RECIPE TIPS
SHORT OF TIME?

Just grab a pouch of ready-cooked basmati or wild rice and heat through with the spices, cooked onions and shredded turkey.

My family love this! Very quick and easy - often just use chicken breast cooked on griddle.

Great recipe for leftovers. Doubled it for four and despite all of us have second helpings there was still plenty left for lunch the next day. Tasty cold as well. Did add extra cumin for more flavour.
