Instructions
- In a 4-gallon stockpot, render bacon with olive oil. When bacon is cooked, remove and reserve. Add onions, garlic, yellow and red peppers, celery, carrots, molasses, black pepper, juniper berries, * and cherries. Cook until molasses has formed a thick glaze over all vegetables. Deglaze with Madeira*.
- Stir in diced turkey and reserved bacon. Add turkey stock, and simmer for at least one hour. Thirty minutes before service, add cooked rice. Adjust seasonings, if required.
Recipe Notes
*Note: You may substitute 1/2 teaspoon of gin, a 1/2-inch sprig of rosemary, or 1-2 crushed bay leaves for the juniper berries, if unavailable. You may also substitute equal amounts of dark sherry, port wine, or red vermouth for Madeira, if unavailable.
