Directions
-
Heat olive oil in a 3-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
-
Add turkey cutlets and sauté until lightly browned on both sides, about 4 minutes. Remove and set aside.
-
Add chorizo sausage to the pot and sauté until lightly browned, about 3-4 minutes.
-
Add thinly sliced onion, dried hot red chilies, and bay leaf. Cook over low heat until onions soften, about 5 minutes.
-
Stir in diced red bell pepper and long-grain rice, coating everything well with the oil and flavors.
-
Pour in dry white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
-
Add chicken stock, canned Italian tomatoes, saffron, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
-
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, about 18-20 minutes.
-
Remove from heat and stir in thawed frozen peas.
-
Cover and let stand for 2 minutes to allow flavors to meld and peas to heat through.
-
Discard bay leaf and chilies, adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed, and serve immediately.
