ingredients
- 2 1⁄2 cups water
- 1 1⁄2 cups uncooked brown rice
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 slices bacon, diced
- 1⁄2 large onion, chopped
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 1 large carrot, peeled and diced
- 1 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1⁄2 cup peas
- 1⁄2 cup corn kernel
- 1⁄2 cup slivered almonds
- 1⁄2 cup raisins
- 1 firm apple, peeled cored and diced (Granny Smith or Fuji)
- 2 cups chopped cooked turkey or 1 1/4 lbs raw ground turkey
- 1 teaspoon chicken soup base or 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1⁄2 cup chopped fresh parsley
- ground black pepper
directions
- Combine water, rice and salt in a pot with a tight fitting lid. Over high heat, bring to a boil with the lid off. When boiling, cover tightly and reduce heat to low/simmer. After 20 minutes, turn off the heat and let stand in the covered pot at least another 10 minutes (20 is okay).
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, saute bacon until crisp and brown, about 10 minutes. Remove to a small bowl.
- Add onion, celery, carrot, mushrooms and thyme. Saute until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. (If using ground turkey, add it with the vegetables and cook until no longer pink, 8-10 minutes.).
- Add peas, corn, almonds, raisins, apple, reserved bacon, cooked turkey (if using), chicken soup base, soy sauce, parsley and pepper. Stir well to combine. When heated through, add rice and stir again. Add salt if needed.

I'm a 48 y/o gay Jewish man in the suburbs immediately north of New York City. I'm a general internist, practicing and teaching at a medical college north of NYC. I also earned a Masters in Public Health degree in 2013.
After a Walt Disney World trip in Dec 2006 where I had to rent an electric scooter because I couldn't manage the walking, I decided to have gastric bypass surgery, which was done Feb 28, 2007. I lost 160 lbs (though I've gained back about 60 of that since). I can't eat as much as I used to, so I want every bite to be extra good!
