To begin with this recipe, we must first prepare a few ingredients. You can have turkey pilaf using 17 ingredients and 10 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.
The ingredients needed to make Turkey Pilaf:

Make ready 1 leek, sliced (optional)

Get Large knob butter
Get 1 litre turkey or chicken stock
Make ready 375 ml dry white wine
Prepare Ground black pepper
Get Salt
Get 1-2 tomatoes, cut into wedges
Take Small bunch coriander, chopped leaves only
Prepare 1 tsp sumac
Instructions to make Turkey Pilaf:
Pre-heat oven to Gas Mark 3 or electric equivalent. My Neff Circotherm setting is 150C.
Melt the butter in casserole and gently fry the onions, without stirring unless sticking, for 3 minutes.
Add the garlic and stir and continue gently frying until both onions and garlic are tender, say another 2 minutes.
Add the celery (and optional leek if wished), stir and fry for one further minute.
Add the bacon, stir and continue gently frying for another 3 minutes.
Add the turkey, peppers, mushrooms, rice, sumac and seasoning and stir thoroughly.
Pour in the wine and stock and bring it all to the boil, occasionally stirring gently.
Cover and transfer to the pre-heated oven and cook until the liquids are absorbed and the rice is sufficiently (but not over-!) cooked. This should take 35-40 minutes.
It’s worth checking after about 25 minutes to ensure that the dish doesn’t “run dry” before the rice is cooked. This very rarely happens but a splash or two of water can be added if necessary. The aim is to have a moist but definitely not “wet” end-product: I.e., nice, tender and fluffy cooked rice.
Either serve directly from the casserole or turn on to a warmed serving dish. Whichever you choose, garnish with tomato wedges, then sprinkle on the chopped coriander leaves and serve on hot plates.
