A yummy healthy recipe

If you remember, one of my New Year's resolutions was to fix healthier food for my family.  I made a turkey and had some left over and found this recipe in a recipe book from Swanson's easy low fat recipes book.

Zesty Turkey and Rice
1 can chicken broth (I made my own with buillon and water.
1 tsp dried basil leaves, crushed
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp hot pepper sauce
1 can (14 oz) stewed tomatoes (I used some I had bottled myself)
3/4 uncooked regular long grain rice
1 c frozen peas
2 c cubed cooked turkey or chicken

In medium saucepan mix broth, basil, garlic powder, hot pepper sauce and tomatoes.  Over medium-high heat, heat to a boil.  Stir in rice.  Reduce heat to low.  Cover and cook 20 minutes.  Stir in peas and turkey.  Cover and cook 5 minutes or until rice is done.

*If you are really in a hurry, do it like me.  I made minute rice separately while I cooked the broth mixture.  Then I put the cooked rice, turkey and broth all together and just made sure it got hot.  I did not use peas as my hubs won't eat them.
