It's very important that you buy parboiled brown rice if you want to cook everything together in this recipe as directed. Parboiled brown rice takes about 15-20 minutes. So, it's not minute rice and it's not the plain one that takes 40-50 minutes. If you have an Aldi store, they have Quick Cook Brown rice. If you don't, Uncle Ben's makes one. The one at my store is in a bag and the back specifically says parboiled. You can also use precooked rice, but stir it in at the end and heat it through. Do not cook it with the turkey and vegetables or it will be over done.
