Comments on: Turkey and Squash “Thanksgiving” Risotto https://www.closetcooking.com/thanksgiving-risotto/ Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen. Sat, 16 Mar 2024 23:29:37 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.1.1 By: Maret https://www.closetcooking.com/thanksgiving-risotto/#comment-146698 Sat, 16 Mar 2024 23:29:37 +0000 https://www.closetcooking.com/2008/10/20/thanksgiving-risotto/#comment-146698 Ended up using closer to 3.5 cups of broth and cooking it around 25 minutes. Here’s what I did: Heat butter in a cast iron skillet with high sides over medium heat. Sauté onion about 2-3 minutes. Add squash (used 1.75 cups) and sauté until it starts to soften, 6-8 minutes. Add the rice (plus a minced garlic clove and about 1/2 tsp fresh rosemary & sage as well as some black pepper) and stir for 1 minute. Stir in wine and allow to cook down, 1-3 minutes. Add about 3/4 cup heated broth. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring about every minute until the broth is almost absorbed, about 5-10 minutes. Repeat adding the broth 3 times.
Stir in the dried cranberries with the last addition of broth. When the squash is tender and the risotto soft and creamy, stir in the turkey and cheese. Allow to heat and serve.

The squash is uncooked and will cook to tender while making the risotto.

Is the squash uncooked when starting this dish?
