Turkey And Mushroom Risotto
- 8 cups
- 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, divided
- 1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cups assorted fresh mushrooms (preferably wild, but white buttons will do), thinly sliced
- 2 cups arborio or carnaroli rice
- 1 cup shredded leftover turkey meat (optional)
- 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
- Bring stock to a simmer in a medium pot over medium heat. Reduce heat to low. Cover and keep warm.
- Meanwhile, melt 3 tablespoons butter in a large pot over medium heat until it begins to foam. Add onion. Saute, stirring occasionally, until onion is soft and translucent and just beginning to turn golden, about 5 minutes.
- Add mushrooms; cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, and any liquid released has evaporated, 5-7 minutes.
- Add rice; stir to coat. Add 1/2 cup warm stock and stir constantly until liquid is absorbed. Continue adding stock by 1/2-cupfuls, stirring constantly, until rice is tender but still firm to the bite, about 20 minutes. Add leftover turkey meat, if using; stir to combine and to warm through, adding a little stock or water if necessary to keep mixture creamy, about 3 minutes.
- Stir Parmesan and remaining 1 tablespoons butter into risotto. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Divide among warm bowls. Garnish with chopped parsley.
