Turkey Rice and Peas Hot Dish

This recipe is a quick and easy meal that is hearty and I like the flavor of it. It is a hot dish that is cooked on the stove top. Makes great left overs for another meal. Freezes well too.

Turkey Rice and Peas Hot Dish
prep time 10 min
cooking time 20-30 minutes

Ingredients
1 lb ground turkey
1 small onion diced
1 can low sodium cream of mushroom soup
salt/pepper to taste
1 soup can full of brown instant rice
1-2 cups frozen peas or peas with carrots

In a heated pot add 1 tsp olive oil and brown ground turkey. Add onion and cook until onion is translucent. Add the soup along, fill the emptied can with water and add to pot. Add the rice and stir.  Add the frozen vegetables and bring to a boil. Cover and reduce the heat to simmer. Let simmer until rice is cooked. If using instant rice 5-10 minutes. If using regular rice about 20-30 minutes. Taste for seasoning. Because this recipe uses a canned soup be careful on how much salt you add. You can saute mushrooms with the onion and substitute the soup with 1 cup half and half and one tbsp of corn starch.
