Turkey & Pea Risotto

Ingredients:
v cups turkey stock
two 1/2 cups diced turkey breast
1 loving cup frozen peas
1 onion, finely chopped
1 stem celery, diced
1 carrot, diced
two tablespoons olive oil
two cups Arborio rice
1/3 loving cup grated Parmesan
1/3 loving cup grated smoked Gouda

Directions:
In a saucepan, convey the broth to a simmer. Heat crude too butter inwards a large saucepan Saute the onion, celery too carrot until softened. Add the rice too sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring continually. Add the broth a 1/2 loving cup at a time, stirring continuously, too waiting until the liquid is absorbed earlier each addition. When y'all are almost one-half fashion through the broth, add together the peas too turkey to the rice. Continue to add together broth too stir. When the risotto is creamy too the rice is al dente take from oestrus too stir inwards the cheeses.

My thoughts:

Can y'all larn whatsoever homier than risotto? It is only too thus creamy (without truly using cream!) too warm-perfect for mutual frigidity weather. I dearest adding centre too vegetables to risotto to larn far a filling 1 dish meal. This version has peas too turkey stirred inwards at at the destination to give it a truly fresh flavor. The pocket-size total of smoked Gouda gives it a richness without beingness overpowering. This risotto reminded me of those erstwhile fashioned turkey too rice casseroles amongst the gravy but is much lighter too has brighter flavors. Perfect for post-Thanksgiving when y'all desire to utilisation upwardly the leftover turkey (and belike accept peas too carrots on hand) but don't experience similar making a big, fussy meal.
