French Onion Risotto

French onion soup is a delicious but time-consuming dish to prepare, but it is not a meal. This risotto dish is a meal and gives you all the slow-cooked delicious caramelization that you love from French onion soup. Let’s start cooking.  

INGREDIENTS

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1 package of ground turkey (optional; can also substitute ground Italian sausage, ground chicken or ground beef)

• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder or minced garlic

• 1 onion, finely chopped

• 1 cup Arborio rice

• 8 ounces mushrooms, washed and sliced 

• ½ cup dry white wine

• 1-2 tablespoons onion powder (depending on how much you love onion flavor)

• 4 cups beef broth

• ½ sup grated gruyere or parmesan cheese

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a large stockpot or skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. 

2. Add ground turkey, Italian seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, or minced garlic and onion; cook for 5 minutes, breaking the turkey apart. 

3. Add mushrooms and continue cooking until ground turkey is fully cooked but has not browned. 

4. Add rice and stir constantly to toast for about 1 minute. 

5. Add wine and cook, stirring, until liquid is absorbed. 

6. Reduce heat to medium, add 1 cup beef broth, and stir continuously until liquid is fully absorbed. Continue stirring and add ½ cup of beef broth at a time, waiting until it is fully absorbed before adding more, and continue to add until all 4 cups of beef broth are incorporated.
