Directions


 



In a 14" nonstick skillet, sauté bacon over medium-high heat until crisp; remove. Measure 1 Tablespoon pan drippings (or add canola oil to measure 1 tablespoon) and reserve. Discard any remaining drippings.


Return 1 tablespoon drippings to skillet and increase heat to high. Stir-fry onion, carrot, celery and garlic until soft, about 3 minutes.


Add apple cider, cider vinegar and turkey; stir to combine. Simmer, stirring frequently, until nearly all liquid has reduced, about 2 minutes. The mixture should not be completely dry.


Stir in white and wild rice, cranberries, nuts and 1 tablespoon thyme. Stir-fry until heated through, about 2 minutes.


Transfer to a heated platter and garnish with additional thyme.
