My son and I LOVED this recipe! We made it even easier by using the boil-in-bag rice. I did add some salt, because of the tomatoes, but that's about the only change I made. This even freezes well! I froze this in individual servings and then take it for lunch at work. It's very yummy!

This was delicious! I did make a couple of changes though. I used our leftover thanksgiving turkey instead of ground turkey so I sauteed onion and green pepper in olive oil and added 2 cloves of garlic first then added the turkey. I was a little more generous with the amount of turkey. Also substituted 1/2 cup of the rice with wild rice. I did think it looked a little dry-probably because of my changes so I added an extra can of tomatoes and a cup of chicken broth. This was a great change after eating turkey leftovers for 3 days! ;)

This turned out great and my whole family loved it! I left out the hot sauce only because my family doesn't like the extra kick, but it was really great! Nice to have a "can I have seconds" recipe that's actually good for us too!

Great recipe. I eat a lot of brown rice and poultry and was looking for something different and easy to make. I did leave out the hot pepper sauce as it was too hot for me and added some black beans. I make it at least one a week.

I changed too much with this recipe to know if I truly like it or not. What I changed is: I used about 2 1/2 cups of (COOKED) brown rice (which was a whole small bag) and I cut the amount of tomatoes in half (tomatoes are why my family hasn't liked other Spanish Rice recipes), so I used about 1/2 cup of salsa and a cup of water to make up for any moisture lost by taking out the tomatoes. I also substituted half an envelope of taco seasoning for the chili powder and hot sauce. Overall my family loved this recipe, I froze half of it, and I plan to make it again after we've eaten this batch.

Very good recipe -though I did use the wild rice & long grain (Rice a Roni) mix. Also, I used 1 can Rotel tomatoes and 1 reg can of petite diced tomatoes. Here's a fun idea my BROTHER gave to me: add a little more chicken or turkey so its nice and thick and use as a filling for burritos!! I now almost use this recipe for that - we add toppings like lettuce and green peppers - making it a very fun meal!

I have to be honest.... I tweaked this a little and it was very good. I used leftover turkey, red, orange and yellow peppers. The tomatoes I used were diced with sweet onions and roasted garlic and I used minute brand brown rice. I will make this again. A little spicy but not too spicy. We used flour tortillas like you would bread to alleviate the hottness in our mouth.

Ok I used this as a base recipe cause I dont like chili powder, plus I added mushrooms and for the life of me I cant figure out how you got two cups of rice to cook in only the juice of the tomatoes! I had to add an entire can of broth and another cup of hot water!
