Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1.5 cups Arborio rice
- 0.5 cups Dry white wine
- 4 cups Chicken or turkey stock
- 2 cups Cooked turkey, shredded or diced
- 1.5 cups Mushrooms, sliced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.75 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 cups Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Transfer the sautéed onion and garlic to the slow cooker. Add the Arborio rice, dry white wine, chicken or turkey stock, cooked turkey, sliced mushrooms, salt, and pepper, stirring well to combine.
Set the slow cooker to high and cook for 2 hours, stirring once halfway through. The risotto should be creamy, and the rice should be tender but not mushy.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and heavy cream, mixing thoroughly until the cheese is melted and the mixture is creamy.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve warm, and enjoy your Slow Cooker Turkey Risotto!
