CREAM OF TURKEY AND WILD RICE SOUP

Steps:

• This is a healthier twist on a classic creamy turkey and wild rice soup that hails from Minnesota. Serve with a crisp romaine salad and whole-grain bread.
• 1. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add mushrooms, celery, carrots and shallots and cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add flour, salt and pepper and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes more.
• 2. Add broth and bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits. Add rice and reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and cook until the rice is tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in turkey (or chicken), sour cream and parsley and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes more.
• TIP: Ingredient note: Quick-cooking or instant wild rice has been parboiled to reduce the cooking time. Conventional wild rice takes 40 to 50 minutes to cook. Be sure to check the cooking directions when selecting your rice-some brands labeled "quick" take about 30 minutes to cook. If you can't find the quick-cooking variety, just add cooked conventional wild rice along with the turkey at the end of Step 2.
• Tip: To poach chicken breasts, place boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a medium skillet or saucepan. Add lightly salted water to cover and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer gently until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the middle, 10 to 12 minutes.

TURKEY AND WILD RICE SOUP

Steps:

• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a medium dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring once or twice, until well browned, about 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and cook until melted. Add the leeks and carrots and season with 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the leeks are softened, about 3 minutes.
• Add the thyme and stir to combine. Add the chicken broth, lemon zest, bay leaves and 3 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium to maintain a simmer. Add the turkey and wild rice; simmer until the rice is just tender, 13 to 15 minutes.
