Equipment

Large skillet
9x13 Baking Dish optional

Ingredients

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 yellow onion (peeled and diced)
2 carrots (peeled and diced)
2 ribs celery (trimmed and diced)
6 ounces baby bella mushrooms (wiped clean and sliced)
2 cups cooked turkey (or chicken; diced or shredded)
1 (14.5-ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
1 cup white rice
2 cups water
1 cup Swiss cheese (grated; divided)
½ cup fresh parsley (minced; plus more for serving)
Salt and pepper

Instructions

Cook the aromatics:

Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
Heat 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery and sauté for 5 minutes.

Sauté the mushrooms:

Add the mushrooms and continue cooking until golden brown, about 7 to 8 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Add the turkey to the skillet and toss to coat. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

Add the rest of the ingredients:

Add the condensed cream of chicken soup and the rice and stir to combine. Pour in the water and bring to a boil for 2 minutes. Turn off the heat.
Add half the grated Swiss cheese and stir until melted.

Bake the casserole:

Pour the casserole into a 9x13 baking dish. See Note 1. Top with the rest of the grated Swiss cheese. Transfer to the preheated oven, uncovered, for 30 to 35 minutes or until the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid in the baking dish.

Cool the baked rice:

Remove the casserole from the oven and add the freshly minced parsley. Stir to combine. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

To serve:

Spoon the baked rice onto plates and serve with more minced parsley on top. Enjoy!

Notes

Note 1: If you’re cooking the ingredients in an oven-proof skillet, you can transfer it straight to the oven instead of baking it in a casserole dish if you prefer.
