MARIE'S TURKEY OSSO BUCCO
A less expensive but equally as rich-tasting slow-cooker version of the traditional Osso Bucco. Do NOT use boneless turkey meat as the dark meat of the leg and thigh as well as the bones contribute greatly to the taste of the finished product. Osso Bucco is tradionally served over Risotto Milanese and this is wonderful that way; but it's just as good over saffron or plain white rice. Leftovers seldon occur, when they do...they are even tastier then the first day. This dish freezes superbly!

ITALIAN-ISH GROUND TURKEY WITH RICE
I found a recipe on here and by the time I got through all my changes I realized I had a new recipe. The family loved it and told me I should post, so here it is. The seasoning gives the turkey a sausage flavor. My husband thought I could have added more rice to stretch it even more but I think the 4 cups was pleanty. Add less if you want it more meaty. Don't be afraid to try brown rice or some other favorite. Also, I think this would be GREAT with broccoli rabe in stead of escarole but I'm the only one in the house who likes it. If you like a little spice add some red pepper flakes when you add the other herbs. This is a quick and easy meal. I figured 30 min. from start to finnish but that depends on how fast you chop. I have a rice cooker so I don't have to babysit the rice and usually chop as I go, so my times may be off.

Steps:
- Cook the ground turkey and onion in a large skillet until the turkey is cooked through. If your turkey is on the fatty side than you may not need the oil but if not, use it.
- Add the herbs including the garlic and cook for an other minute and stir to combine all the flavors. Drain off the fat if necessary.
- Add the bell pepper. Let cook for a few minutes than add the escarole and pour the chicken broth over the top.
- Cook and stir to wilt the escarole and get the pepper to your desired level of doneness (I like it to have a little bite to it). The broth will evaporate quickly but if it doesn't don't worry, the rice will soak it up.
- Add the cooked rice and stir to combine.
- Serve hot.
