Note: The vinegar and diluted almond cream are non-dairy substitutes for sour cream. You can also use 2 cups of room temperature (dairy or non-dairy) sour cream or unsweetened yogurt, and omit the water and vinegar. If you use a dairy ingredient, turn off the heat before you add it to the sauce so that the sauce doesn't break.

Note: If you have actual gravy, you can use that instead of the chicken broth and Gravy Master.

Note: If you don't have packaged noodles and want a GF DIY option, make a flour of 2 cups brown rice flour, 2 cups white rice flour (regular rice, not sweet/glutinous rice), and 1 cup cornstarch. Whisk together 1 egg or 2 egg yolks, 1 tsp water, 1 tsp oil, and a pinch of salt. Mix in enough of the flour to form a ball of dough. Roll out the dough on a floured surface until it's very thin. Cut into noodles with a knife, pizza cutter, or pasta cutter.

Ingredients

2 lb ground turkey
12 to 16 oz (2 packages) fresh mushrooms, chopped
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
6 Tbsp Earth Balance
1 cup finely chopped onion (about half of a large onion)
1 cup chicken broth
0.5 tsp Gravy Master
2 tsp cider vinegar
2 Tbsp chopped fresh thyme, or 2 tsp dried thyme
0.25 tsp nutmeg
1.5 cup almond cream
0.5 cup water
1 lb pasta, ideally flat noodles

Equipment

Chef's knife
Cutting board
Measuring cups and spoons
Pyrex 2-cup measure
Stove (2 burners)
Medium pot with lid
Large nonstick pan
Wooden spoons
Large strainer
Medium bowl

Instructions

0) Mise en place. Gather your ingredients and tools. Fill the pasta pot 3/4 full with water, put the lid on, and start it heating over high heat. Make sure the sink is empty and clean, and put the large strainer in it.

1) Prep. Chop the mushrooms and onions (keep them separate). Measure and combine the chicken broth, Gravy Master, and vinegar. Mix the almond cream and water in the Pyrex pitcher and microwave until warm. Chop the thyme if it's fresh. Add the thyme and nutmeg to the almond cream and stir well.

2) Brown the turkey. Heat the pan over medium-high heat. Put in the turkey and cook until no longer pink, stirring frequently so it doesn't turn into a single solid mass of turkey. Drain it in the strainer and set it aside in a bowl.

2.5) By now the pasta water is probably boiling. Add the noodles and cook until tender. When the noodles are done, drain them in the strainer.

3) Brown the mushrooms and onion. Heat the pan over medium-high heat. Put in the mushrooms, add a few grinds of salt and pepper, and cook, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms release their liquid and begin to brown (3 to 5 minutes). Add the Earth Balance and onion and cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is lightly browned.

4) Combine. Add the turkey back to the pan. Pour in the broth mixture. Stir to combine and cook for a couple of minutes. Add the almond cream and thyme and nutmeg, and stir to combine. If the sauce is too thick, thin with a little water; if it's too thin, simmer it down. Adjust seasonings to taste.

5) Serve. Plate the noodles individually and pour the sauce over them. Serve immediately. Makes about six servings.

6) Store and reheat. Store the noodles and sauce separately in the fridge; they'll keep for about five days. Reheat the noodles by immersing them in hot or boiling water until just heated through. Reheat the sauce in the microwave or on the stove. Combine just before eating.

Note: Frozen chopped onions may be substituted for the shallot. Measure a shallot-sized quantity by eye, microwave on high for 30 seconds, and drain well.

Note: The pressure cooker directions are only for an electric pressure cooker with a nonstick inner pot/liner. Don't attempt to pressure cook on the stove; it will scorch long before pressure is achieved.

Ingredients

1 Tbsp + .25 cup olive oil
1 large or 2 small shallots, diced
600g uncooked risotto rice
7 cups liquid: white wine (maximum 1 cup), chicken broth, vegetable broth, water if all else fails
1 extra cup liquid if using a pot rather than a pressure cooker
1 to 1.5 pound vegetables, diced or otherwise edible-size; can be fresh, frozen, or a mix of the two (2 x 10 oz. frozen peas & carrots works great)
1 cup chopped dense protein (e.g. sauteed mushrooms, scraps of roast chicken, raw ground turkey) or 2 cups chopped dilute protein (e.g. 10 oz. raw mushrooms, which contain a lot of water)
Chopped fresh herbs to garnish (optional)

Equipment

Prep
Cutting board
Knife
Large strainer
Measuring cups
2 large bowls (if following the optional rice-rinsing step)

Cooking
Silicone spoonula or other wide heatproof spoon
Pressure cooker or large pot with a tight-fitting lid
Stove (1 burner)

Steps

0) Mise en place. Measure out the rice, liquid, and oil. Take any frozen veg out of the freezer. Dice the shallot(s). Chop anything that needs chopped. Divide the protein and vegetables into three categories:

A) the shallots, plus anything that needs to be cooked very thoroughly (all raw protein, all very crunchy fresh raw veg)
B) anything that needs to be heated through and can be very soft (cold cooked chicken)
C) anything that cooks very quickly and should still have texture (all frozen veg, greens like spinach that wilt quickly, veg like fresh peas that are good nearly raw)

0.5) If you have time, rinse the rice. Combine the rice and liquid in a large bowl, stir vigorously with your hands or a whisk, and strain into another large bowl. Let the rice sit and drain for at least five minutes, stirring it occasionally to help it drain. This transfers the rice starch into the liquid and lets you toast the rice without losing the creaminess of the starch. It's optional, but makes the risotto extra creamy.

1) Toast the rice. Put in .25 cup oil and heat it over high heat until very hot. Add the rice and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until the rice gets a nutty aroma and just barely begins to change color. If a grain of rice pops like popcorn, it's definitely ready. Scoop it out and set it aside.

2) Pre-cook group A. Put in the additional 1 Tbsp oil; it will heat quickly. Cook everything in group A until all raw protein is cooked through and all cooking liquid has evaporated.

3) Combine the rice, the liquid, and everything in groups A and B. If you rinsed the rice, give the broth and wine a good stir so the starch isn't all sitting at the bottom. Pour in seven cups of liquid (if you're cooking in a regular pot rather than a pressure cooker, you should have one cup left over) and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Add the rice and everything in group B. Give it a good stir.

4a) If using the pressure cooker: Add everything in group C and stir. Lock on the lid and set to cook at low pressure for 5 minutes. Release the pressure immediately (and carefully) as soon as the cooking time is up, or if the pressure cooker alerts you that it's starting to scorch.

4b) If using a pot: Bring to a rapid boil, stirring frequently. Cover the pot and turn the heat down as low as possible. Let simmer 5 minutes. Stir briefly, cover again, and simmer for another 5 minutes. Stir in the remaining cup of liquid. Increase the heat to medium just until the liquid begins to bubble, then cover the pan and turn the heat all the way down again. Let simmer 5 minutes or until the liquid is mostly absorbed and the rice is almost entirely cooked. Add everything in group C.

5) Give a final blast of heat. If there's still uncooked rice or un-absorbed liquid, cook uncovered over medium heat, stirring frequently, until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is cooked through.

6) Serve and store. Stir in any garnishes. Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve immediately. Risotto keeps in the fridge for a week and reheats well in the microwave.

6a) To make risotto cakes, form 3 cups risotto into 8 small patties; whisk 2 eggs in one bowl and put 2 cups of breadcrumbs in another bowl; dip each patty into eggs and then into breadcrumbs. Pan-fry them in hot oil (3 minutes on a side) or bake them on an oiled baking sheet at 350F until golden brown. Risotto cakes can also be frozen, and either baked or fried (carefully! hot oil splatters a lot when you put something frozen in it) without defrosting.

Ingredients:

3 cups risotto rice
7 cups (1.75 boxes) low-sodium vegetable broth
1 cup white wine (you can substitute 1 cup broth if you don't have wine)
.5 cup olive oil
1 lb frozen carrots & peas with no added salt
10 oz fresh shiitake mushrooms, chopped
2 small shallots or 1 large shallot, finely diced
2 garlic cloves, pressed, or 2 tsp chopped garlic
Optional garnishes (fresh herbs, real or fake cheese, etc.)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Equipment:

Prep
Cutting board
Knife
Large strainer
Garlic press (if using fresh garlic)
Measuring cups
2 large bowls (if following the optional rice-rinsing step)

Cooking
Silicone spoonula or other wide heatproof spoon
Large skillet with tightly fitting lid
Stove (1 burner)

Steps:

0) Mise en place. Measure out the rice, broth and wine (in one bowl), and oil. Take the peas and carrots out of the freezer. Rinse and chop the mushrooms. Dice the shallot(s). Press the garlic cloves.

0.5) If you have time, rinse the rice. Combine the rice, broth, and wine in a large bowl, stir vigorously with your hands or a whisk, and strain into another large bowl. Let the rice sit and drain for at least five minutes, stirring it occasionally to help it drain. This transfers the rice starch into the broth and lets you toast the rice without losing the creaminess of the starch. It's optional, but makes the risotto extra creamy.

1) Toast the rice. Put the oil in the saucepan and flick in a few drops of water. Heat over medium high heat until the water sizzles. Add the rice and cook, stirring frequently, until the rice has a golden blond color and a nutty aroma.

2) Cook the aromatics and mushrooms. Clear a small section of the pan, tilt the pan to fill that section with oil, and put the garlic and shallot in it. Let them cook in the hot oil for about 30 seconds. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until all the mushroom liquid has evaporated, about 3–5 minutes.

3) Add the liquid and simmer. If you rinsed the rice, give the broth and wine a good stir so the starch isn't all sitting at the bottom. Pour 7 cups of the broth-and-wine mixture into the pan. Bring to a simmer, cover with the lid, and turn the heat down as low as possible. Let simmer 10 minutes. Stir briefly, cover again, and let simmer another 5 minutes.

4) Cook the vegetables. Stir in the remaining cup of liquid and the frozen peas and carrots. Increase the heat to medium just until the liquid begins to bubble, then cover the pan and turn the heat all the way down again. Let simmer 5 minutes or until the liquid is mostly absorbed and the rice is almost entirely cooked.

5) Give a final blast of heat. Uncover the pan, turn the heat up to medium-high, and cook, stirring frequently, until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is cooked through.

6) Garnish. Stir in any garnishes. Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

7) Enjoy the leftovers. Risotto keeps in the fridge for a week and reheats well in the microwave. To make risotto cakes, form 3 cups risotto into 8 small patties; whisk 2 eggs in one bowl and put 2 cups of breadcrumbs in another bowl; dip each patty into eggs and then into breadcrumbs. Pan-fry them in hot oil (3 minutes on a side) or bake them on an oiled baking sheet at 350F until golden brown.
