Assorted wild mushrooms can be substituted for either the shiitake or portobello.

Yield: 8 servings (serving size: 1 cup)

Ingredients

  • Cooking spray
  • 1  (3 1/2-ounce) package shiitake mushrooms, quartered
  • 1  (6-ounce) package presliced portobello mushrooms, halved
  • 1  (8-ounce) package button mushrooms, quartered
  • 2 1/2  cups  chopped cooked dark-meat turkey (about 12 ounces)
  • 1/4  cup  dry red wine
  • 1  teaspoon  dried thyme
  • 1  teaspoon  balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2  teaspoon  salt
  • 1/8  teaspoon  ground red pepper
  • 1  (16-ounce) can fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2  cup  thinly sliced green onions
  • 2  tablespoons  chopped fresh parsley
  • 3  tablespoons  all-purpose flour
  • 2  cups  2% reduced-fat milk
  • 2 1/2  cups  cooked long-grain and wild-rice blend (such as Uncle Ben's)
  • 1/2  cup tub-style light cream cheese
  • Parsley sprigs (optional)

Preparation

Place a large saucepan coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat until hot. Add mushrooms; cover and cook 5 minutes or until mushrooms are tender. Add turkey and next 6 ingredients (turkey through broth); bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in onions and chopped parsley.

Place flour in a small bowl, and gradually add milk, stirring constantly with a whisk until well-blended. Add milk mixture to mushroom mixture, and bring to a boil. Cook for 1 minute or until thick. Reduce heat; add rice and cream cheese, stirring until cheese melts. Garnish with parsley sprigs, if desired.

Excellent! I used leftover rotisserie chicken and just wild rice and omitted the cream cheese, and I look forward to eating it for lunch over the next couple of days. Great recipe!12/07/08

Wow, November 25th and I'm the only review on this recipe for the holiday weekend?! Had to find something to do with the leftover turkey and this was good enough to make me want to roast a turkey some time other than thanksgiving. It is that good - next time, I will add more wine or balsamic because the broth was a bit bland for my taste. You could scrap the rice and it'd still be hearty. We will keep this in the rotation!11/25/07
