Chicken (Turkey) and Rice

I use this recipe for both leftover chicken and turkey. My family loves it. You can add more broth to the mixture if your family likes soup instead.

1-2 cups Leftover Turkey
1 cup instant brown rice
2 cups chicken (turkey) broth (we use what is leftover from turkey and then substitute with boxed broth)
8 oz mushrooms, chopped
1 medium onion chopped
2 carrots peeled and chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
2-3 Tbls olive oil
1 tsp dried rosemary (or 1 Tbls fresh)
Salt to taste (about 1 tsp)
1/4 tsp pepper
1 tsp dried basil (or 1 Tbls fresh)

In pan, saute vegetables in olive oil until tender. Add rice, chicken or turkey, broth and seasonings. Bring to a boil, simmer 5 minutes. Serve.

This is a favorite of our families. I use it even for very small amounts of leftover chicken and turkey. This can also make a great vegetarian meal if you omit the meat and use vegetable broth instead of the chicken broth.
