Every evening, we are all blessed, or sometimes cursed, with the task of "what's for dinner?" The Master Chef program in the US even has the same challenge - chefs get a mystery basket of ingredients and must prepare a world-class dinner under time constraints and watchful eyes. Last night was a similar adventure for me to put together a meal quickly with minimal ingredients for a guest. Worked late; tired from exercise (2 hours of running, 1 hour swimming); needed to grocery shop like 2 days ago.I had a bag of chopped, roasted turkey meat in the freezer. And rice in the pantry. And enough items in the veggie drawer to make a salad.Since I am now at work on all of our holiday items, thoughts of Thanksgiving popped in my head. So, dinner with a Thanksgiving twist was born.Turkey with rice was made in the rice cooker. It always tastes so wonderful. But it is so, so easy. Pour a few ingredients in a pot, put on the lid and push the cook button.2 cups turkey, cooked and chopped2 cups rice4 cups water1/4 cup chopped red pepper or dried red pepper1/4 cup chopped green onionspices to taste: cumin, chili powder, coriander, granulated garlic, black pepperMeanwhile, I put cornbread in the oven:1 cup milk1/4 cup egg substitute1/4 cup canola oil2 Tbsp sugar1 cup white whole wheat flour1 cup cornmeal1 Tbsp baking powderMix liquid ingredients in a bowl.
