This recipe is from the Weight Watchers One Pot Cookbook. It is an awesome spicy curried rice and turkey soup that is so delicious I thought I would share it:


2 tsp butter, 1 medium chopped onion, 3 garlic cloves, minced, 2/3 cup long grain white rice, 2-3 teaspoons Madras curry powder (or regular curry), 1 tsp turmeric, 1/4 tsp ground cloves, 5 cups low-sodium chicken broth, 1 green bell pepper, chopped & seeded, 1 small red apple (I used fuji), unpeeled and diced, 1 pound boneless skinless turkey breast cut into 3/4-inch chunks, freshly ground pepper, 1 small tomato, 1/4 c fresh cilantro.

Melt the butter in dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion & garlic and cook until golden, apx 7-10 minutes. Add rice, curry, turmeric and cloves. Stir occasionally and cook until fragrant (2-3 minutes).

Stir in the broth, bell pepper and apple. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until the rice is tender, about 20 minutes.

Add the turkey chunks and return to a boil. Reduce head and simmer, covered, until turkey is cooked, about 5 minutes. Season with pepper.

if you like an added Indian flavor and kick, add 1/2 teaspoon of garam masala (a nice blend of dried chilies and black pepper and sweet spices) at end just before dishing it up. Top with tomato and cilantro (I actually just topped with a small handful of pico de gallo.
