We liked turkey best in this easy one-dish meal, but if removing tendons from the drumsticks seems too laborious, substitute 1 1/2 pounds of smoked ham steak. Trim the steak, discarding any bone, then cut into 1-inch pieces. Ingredients:
2 3/4 lb smoked turkey drumsticks |
2 tablespoons vegetable oil |
1 medium onion, chopped |
1 small green bell pepper, chopped |
1 large celery rib, chopped |
1 large garlic clove, finely chopped |
1 (14- to 16-oz) can diced tomatoes in juice, drained |
1 3/4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth (14 fl oz) |
1 1/4 cups water |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon cayenne |
2 cups long-grain white rice |
1/2 cup chopped scallion greens |
Directions:
1. Cut turkey meat off bone with a paring knife, then cut (or pull off) and discard tendons and skin from meat. Cut turkey into 1-inch pieces.
2. Heat oil in a 6- to 7-quart wide heavy pot over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then cook onion, bell pepper, and celery, stirring frequently, until onion begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Add meat, tomatoes, broth, water, salt, and cayenne and bring to a boil, covered, over high heat. Stir in rice and bring to a full rolling boil. Cover pot, then cook over low heat until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Let stand off heat, covered, 5 minutes. Stir in scallion greens.
