Julia's Collections

When my mother passed away 20 years ago, my sisters and I had the not-so-fun job of going through her treasures. No one spoke for her recipe collections, so I grabbed them. You see, my mom was a fantastic cook. It seemed a shame to me to have those recipes go unclaimed! Well, here we are, 20 years later; and those recipes have rested in their special place on my closet shelf waiting to be tried . . . .

Leftovers - Yummy Rice Dish

It's always a dilemma when you come to the last of the turkey. What to do with that last little bit. I've been waiting for the right opportunity to make this recipe, and I'm glad I did. This recipe was attributed to "Bob's Mother" - my sister's mother-in-law. It did live up to its name. Lori called it "comfort food." Must admit it was good. I didn't have cream of mushroom soup, so I used cream of chicken. And sadly I forgot to add the mushrooms. I love mushrooms, so I know that would have made it even better. And it calls for canned chicken, but leftover turkey works great!

YUMMY RICE DISH
2 tbsp. butter
2 cups diced celery
1 onion chopped
1/2 tsp. poultry seasoning
1 4-oz. can mushrooms with juice
Simmer till transparent. Add 1 can mushroom soup, 1 can chicken with rice soup, 3/4 cup uncooked rice, 1½ cup water. Mix together and put in dripper pan & cover & bake 1½ hrs. at 325°F. Twenty minutes before done add 1 can boned chicken or turkey & 1 cup cashews or almonds.
