13 -
1 ¼ cups long-grain white rice, rinsed
14 -
1 large head broccoli, cut into 1-inch pieces
→ Topping
15 -
1 tablespoon salted butter, melted
16 -
¼ cup panko breadcrumbs
17 -
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
18 -
1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
19 -
Green onions, green parts only, thinly sliced (optional)
# Instructions:
01 -
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking apart, for 7-8 minutes, or until no longer pink.
02 -
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil along with the onion. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring often, until the onion becomes translucent. Stir in the garlic and continue cooking for another 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
03 -
Pour in the chicken broth and milk, scraping the bottom of the pot to loosen any browned bits. Mix in the oregano, basil, paprika, mustard, salt, and black pepper. Add the rice and stir until well combined. Place broccoli florets on top in a single layer without mixing.
04 -
Cover and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
05 -
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, panko breadcrumbs, and grated Parmesan cheese.
06 -
Once the rice is cooked, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted. Sprinkle the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top.
07 -
Preheat the broiler. Broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown. Serve with sliced green onions, if desired.
# Notes:
01 -
This dish is perfect to make entirely ahead of time. Simply warm it up when you're ready to serve.
02 -
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days, or freeze for 3-4 months.
03 -
To reheat, warm on stovetop until heated through, then pop under the broiler briefly to re-crisp the topping.
04 -
For best results, rinse the rice thoroughly and allow it to fully dry before adding to the skillet.
