MEDITERRANEAN RED RICE, WILD RICE & JASMINE TURKEY SPECIAL

MEDITERRANEAN RED RICE, WILD RICE & JASMINE TURKEY SPECIAL 

Why turkey special?  I could not think of any thing else.  I really bad at naming dishes.
My hubby really like this recipe and has requested every end of the month.   As for the extra turkeys we had.  I kept one and gifted on to my mother in law who was very happy.  This recipe is good with left over turkey or chicken.

NOTE:  You can double the recipe if you want to make more.  This make enough for two people with leftovers.  
And if you can't find the correct rices, try another rice that I might not know about.   It's all about being creative.
