Aromatic Turkey & Rice Recipe with Peacock Golden Sella Basmati

1 - Ingredient Prep

2 - Sauté the Aromatics

In a pot, heat a drizzle of oil. Add the chopped onion, garlic, and a pinch of salt. Sauté over medium heat until the onions are translucent and fragrant.

3 - Cook the Turkey

Add the turkey pieces (which should be skinless and thoroughly washed, traditionally with lemon, before preparation) to the same pot. Brown the turkey pieces on all sides.

4 - Add Tomato and Herbs

After thoroughly searing the turkey pieces, add the chopped tomato and chopped parsley. Sauté them briefly, allowing the tomato to soften slightly.

5 - Season the Ingredients

Once the tomato is sautéed, it is time to season everything. Add the salt, pepper, turmeric powder, ground ginger, Saffron Stock Cube, and Ras el Hanout. Stir well to coat the turkey and vegetables evenly with the spices.

6 - Cook the Turkey in Liquid

Pour in enough water (or stock, if desired) to cover the turkey and vegetables. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover the pot, and cook for 20 minutes until the turkey is tender and fully cooked.

7 - Cook the Rice

Carefully remove the turkey pieces from the pot and set them aside. The flavored liquid remaining in the pot will be used to cook the rice. Adjust the water level if necessary (use your typical rice-to-water ratio for Basmati). Add the rinsed Peacock Golden Sella Basmati Rice to the seasoned liquid. Cook until the rice is ready (typically about 15-20 minutes, covered, on low heat).

8 - Service and Presentation

Once the rice is cooked and fluffy, serve the dish. Simply place the aromatic rice on the bottom of the plate and arrange the seasoned turkey pieces on top. That’s it—it’s ready to enjoy!
