- 1 celery rib, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped
- 8 oz ground white meat of chicken or turkey
- 1 1/2 cups cooked long-grain brown or white rice
- 1/4 cup pine nuts (optional)
- 2 Tbs finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions

- FillingWarm the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, and garlic; cook for 5 minutes, or until soft. Add the chicken or turkey and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, or until just cooked. Remove from the heat and stir in the rice, pine nuts (if using), and parsley. Season with salt and pepper.
