Directions
This is a recipe that I like to use for turkey leftovers. I use the carcass
to make the stock first. I throw in any vegetables I want to use up in the
fridge into the stock pot except cabbage and broccoli and carrot greens
which smell too strong if I let the stock boil too hard by accident. After
straining the stock and discarding the bones and vegetables I use the
following recipe from the Sunset "Fresh Ways with Chicken" cookbook, which
I usually double. I also use more broth and less turkey than they call
for, I really don't measure the ingredients, I just add what I've got until
it's as thick as I want it and the proportions look right.
In a blender or food processor combine tomatoes and their liquid, chiles
and onion; whirl until smooth. Pour into a large pan, add broth and bring
to a boil over high heat. Add turkey, rice, corn, garlic and spices. Reduce
heat and simmer until heated through.
