Recipe information

  • Yield

    4 to 6 Servings

Ingredients

8

cups Day-After Turkey Stock (click for recipe)

4

tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, divided

1

small yellow onion, thinly sliced

2

cups assorted fresh mushrooms (preferably wild, but white buttons will do), thinly sliced

2

cups arborio or carnaroli rice

1

cup shredded leftover turkey meat (optional)

1

/2 cup shredded Parmesan

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

2

tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Bring stock to a simmer in a medium pot over medium heat. Reduce heat to low. Cover and keep warm.

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, melt 3 tablespoons butter in a large pot over medium heat until it begins to foam. Add onion. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until onion is soft and translucent and just beginning to turn golden, about 5 minutes.

    Step 3

    Add mushrooms; cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, and any liquid released has evaporated, 5-7 minutes.

    Step 4

    Add rice; stir to coat. Add 1/2 cup warm stock and stir constantly until liquid is absorbed. Continue adding stock by 1/2-cupfuls, stirring constantly, until rice is tender but still firm to the bite, about 20 minutes. Add leftover turkey meat, if using; stir to combine and to warm through, adding a little stock or water if necessary to keep mixture creamy, about 3 minutes.

    Step 5

    Stir Parmesan and remaining 1 tablespoon butter into risotto. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Divide among warm bowls. Garnish with chopped parsley.

  • Incredibly delicious! Definitely a great recipe to use for all those leftover Thanksgiving turkey. I use the turkey neck, liver, and heart to make the stock which is also what I use to make my turkey gravy. Will continue to make this recipe every year!
