Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Turkey breast, boneless and skinless
- 1 cup Wild rice, uncooked
- 2 cups Low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup Carrots, diced
- 1 cup Celery, diced
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried rosemary
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Lightly spray the inside of your crock pot with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Rinse the wild rice under cold water and drain well.
Place the uncooked wild rice, diced carrots, celery, and onion into the crock pot.
Add the minced garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper into the crock pot. Mix to combine and evenly distribute the seasonings.
Lay the turkey breast directly on top of the rice and vegetable mixture.
Pour the low-sodium chicken broth over the turkey and rice mixture, ensuring everything is covered evenly.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and set it to low heat. Cook for 4 hours, or until the turkey is fully cooked and the wild rice is tender.
Once cooked, remove the turkey breast and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded turkey to the crock pot and mix it with the rice and vegetables.
Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Serve warm, garnished with fresh chopped parsley, if desired.
