Estimated POINTS® value per serving | 7 (full choice)

4 teaspoon oil (4pts)
300 g turkey fillet, cubed
1 onion, chopped
1 red pepper, sliced
1 clove garlic, chopped finely
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/4 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
100 g dried rice
25 g raisins (1pt)
200 ml chicken stock
4 tablespoons natural low-fat yogurt
salt and pepper to taste
chopped parsley to garnish

Heat 3 teaspoons of oil in pan add turkey and fry til it loses its pink colour. Remove from the pan. Heat remaining oil in pan add chopped onion, red pepper and garlic and fry gently for 3-4 minutes. Stir in the cumin seeds, thyme and turmeric. Return the turkey to the pan and stir in the rice, raisins and stock. Cover and simmer for 15-20 mins until stock has been absorbed and rice is cooked. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the yoghurt and sprinkle with chopped parsley to serve.

Can use chicken instead of turkey and can use leftover cooked turkey/chicken instead of raw, in which case there is no need to fry the meat in the first place and therefore only 1 teaspoon of oil will be needed instead of 4.
