Recipe

I have been trying to post some pictures for a couple days now, and it hasn't been working.  Hughes Internet sucks!  So I decided to post a recipe.  I have been trying to find good dinner recipes, and I always like finding ones that people have tried.  At least there is more of a chance of it being good.  I decided that I'm going to try and post one recipe a week.  Hopefully this will catch on and others will do the same.  I would love to build my recipe box.

Roasted Turkey Risotto

• 5 cups chicken stock
• 1 1/2 cups Arborio rice
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion diced
• 2 cups leftover turkey, chopped (I have also used leftover chicken and roast beef with this recipe.  It works great with what ever you have on hand.)
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• Juice of 1 lemon (You can do this according to taste)
• 1 tablespoon dried parsley
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper

1. In a large skillet, heat the butter, olive oil, and onions over medium-high heat until onions are soft.  Add rice and heat until lightly toasted.

2. Add 1 cup of chicken stock and let simmer until stock has been absorbed by the rice.  Be sure to stir the risotto often.  Add more broth as each cup is absorbed.  Continue until all the broth is absorbed and the rice is al dente, about 20 minutes.

3. Stir in the turkey, peas, cheese, lemon, parsley, salt and pepper.  Heat through.

That's it.  Super easy and very delicious.  Give it a try and let me know what you think.
