Thanksgiving Rice

"Thanksgiving leftovers are so delicious because it’s usually all of the holiday dishes combined together a little less formally onto one plate. You get the flavors from each dish all mixed up and it tastes DELICIOUS. So why not purposefully combine all of those flavors from the start? That’s where the inspiration for this Thanksgiving Rice recipe came from. You get all sorts of seasonal ingredients that may typically be in a variety of different dishes, but packed into one perfectly balanced food creation for a bundle of fall flavors. Thanksgiving Rice features hearty veggies like green beans, carrots, onion and celery with savory herbs and spices, but also a little sweet thanks to some dried cranberries and brown sugar. We’re also adding shredded turkey (or chicken) so this is most definitely filling enough to be a full meal all on its own. "
