Instant Pot Turkey and Wild Rice Soup (Not Low Carb)

By Andrea Wilson | November 17, 2023 | 0 Comments

This Instant Pot turkey and wild rice soup is very good. However, the wild rice takes very centre stage and it’s not a taste I’m overly fond of. I guess I thought that the wild rice would take a back stage to the other ingredients in the recipe. Therefore, in the future, I think I…

Jamie Oliver’s Sticky Miso Chicken Traybake https://realfood.tesco.com/recipes/jamies-sticky-miso-chicken-traybake.html This was okay, but not super great. It made a lot of rice. I used chicken legs instead of drumsticks, so I cooked the dish for longer. Also, I parboiled the broccoli for three minutes and soaked the rice in boiling water first, which I’m glad I did.…
