Luxurious Turkey-Mushroom Risotto with White Truffle Oil
Adapted from More Than Gourmet
Never again will left-over turkey be thought of as mundane once you feast on this delectable risotto. Sautéed white mushrooms and onions along with Arborio rice become creamy yet al dente as turkey stock is slowly stirred into this traditional Italian dish. Then add splash of white wine, diced turkey, Parmigiano and - here’s where it’s special - a final spoonful of white truffle oil. If you’re in a flamboyant mood, you might shave on fresh white truffles. For the rest of us mortals, this is already a heavenly celebration that must be served immediately.
