Rice, cooked turkey, vegetables and cheese in an easy to prepare skillet meal. This is a terrific recipe for using leftover holiday turkey.
Recipe Ingredients:
2 tablespoons vegetable oil - divided use
1 cup uncooked long grain white rice
1 cup medium or hot chunky salsa
1 (14.5-ounce) can chicken broth

1/2 cup chopped onion
1 cup frozen whole kernel corn
1 1/2 cups chopped cooked Butterball® Turkey
