    Turkey and Wild Rice Stuffed Swiss Chard


    Source of Recipe


    Donna Rollison

    Recipe Introduction


    From Flavors Magazine (Whole Foods)

    List of Ingredients




    2 eggs
    2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
    1/2 teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
    2 cups cooked wild rice pilaf or white rice pilaf
    2 cups chopped cooked white and dark turkey meat
    2 bunches Swiss chard

    Recipe



    In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, garlic, pepper, salt and parsley.

    Stir in wild rice pilaf and turkey.

    Set filling aside.


    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.

    Rinse chard well to remove any grit.

    Cut stems off where leaf begins. Very large leaves (more that 12 inches long) should be cut in half to make 2 rolls.

    Flatten any large stalks with a fork to allow for even blanching and easier rolling.

    Immerse 4 to 6 leaves at a time in boiling water and blanch for 1 minute.

    Transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet and allow leaves to drain.

    When leaves have cooled slightly, lay flat (pretty side down) and place 3 to 4 tablespoons filling in center.

    Start with the large end of a leaf, fold over filling and roll up like a burrito.

    Place rolls seam side down in a steamer basket and steam for 6-8 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
    Serve immediately.
