One of my favorite things about Thanksgiving Turkey is leftovers! You can add the turkey to lots of dishes where you would normally use chicken. These Green Chile Turkey & Rice Bowls are a fun way to help you eat leftovers without having to eat another turkey sandwich!
Here is what you need…
Cook the rice according to package directions.
In a large skillet, sauté the onion until translucent, about 5 to 8 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté another 2 minutes. When you add the chicken broth, the mixture will bubble up. Last, add the green chiles and stir well.
Bring this to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes. Add the turkey, and cook until heated through.
In a tortilla, layer rice and then turkey mixture.
Top with shredded cheese and serve immediately.
