It’s a recipe that you can enjoy year round! Because not only is this the perfect recipe to use up leftover turkey, but it can also be made with chicken and chicken breast meat if you like.

Serve it with steamed vegetables and you’re all set for a delicious and healthy meal.

The Ingredients

Butter. You can use olive oil if you like. Butter just gives you a richer flavor, but it’s really no big deal.

Onion. Any cooking onion will do for this recipe.

Garlic. When you got meat, you also gotta have your garlic! The more the merrier, but if making this for kids, two cloves is plenty.

Arborio rice. It has to be arborio rice in order to get that creamy texture that we’re going for in a risotto recipe.

Chicken stock. Use whatever brand you have on hand.

Parmesan cheese. I use the parmesan that comes in a plastic container. You can use shredded or shred your own, whichever you prefer.

Cooked turkey. I like to use the breast meat, because the risotto helps to add more flavor. But you can use whatever you like.
