Turkey Congee Recipe

Any left-over turkey meat

2 gallons turkey broth

8 cups cooked rice

3 cups diced yams or sweet potato

½ cup shredded fresh ginger

1 tablespoon light soy sauce

1 green onion, sliced

Combine 1 gallon of turkey broth, rice and diced yams in large, thick-bottomed pot and bring to a simmer. Cook the rice until extremely tender and easily mashable with the back of a spoon. If too thick, add more stock. If too wet, then allow to simmer with the lid off. Add shredded turkey meat into each individual serving bowl along with a pinch of the shredded ginger, a pinch of the green onions and a drop of the light soy sauce. Ladle the congee into each bowl and serve. Be careful; it’s extremely hot.
