SUPER EASY TURKEY - RICE DISH 
(This is the recipe that the main course for the School Thanksgiving Feast is based on. See asterisk after recipe for modifications for the children.) UNCLE BEN'S® FAST COOKING long grain & wild rice

Place the turkey drumsticks in a crock pot; cook on LOW all day, until meat is done and tender. Do not add any water during cooking, the turkey will create it's own broth. Remove turkeys from crockpot, add enough water to the crockpot to make about 2 cups - no need to be accurate or measure, just guess. Add all of the rice and seasonings to the crockpot, cover and cook on HIGH for 15 to 20 minutes.

While the rice is cooking, debone the turkey drumsticks, and tear into bite-size pieces. Return to the crock pot to reheat, serve.

For the rice mixture, we use equal parts of fast cooking wild rice and fast cooking brown rice. Use chicken or turkey broth-bouillon to make the amounts of liquid needed according to the boxes of rice. The kids love tearing up the turkey - we use both drumsticks and turkey breasts that have been roasting in the oven. Is also a good recipe to use up leftover turkey after Thanksgiving, just add canned broth or bouillon as needed for the rice.
