Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Chop the whole onion. Heat a nonstick pan until it is very hot, reduce heat to medium high, add the oil and saute the onion until it begins to soften.

  3. Step 3

    Meanwhile, wash, trim, seed and chop the whole pepper, add to onion and cook until pepper begins to soften.

  4. Step 4

    Cut up the turkey, and stir into the onions with the relish and the cranberries.

  5. Step 5

    Add the cooked rice; remove the bay leaf, and mix the rice with the turkey mixture. Season with salt and pepper.

Kind of bland. Made enough for 4. I used leftover whole cranberry sauce, which might not work as well
