1
Melt the butter in a large Dutch oven or stockpot (preferably heavy aluminum, cast iron or copper) and add half the pieces of turkey.

They should fit in one layer, so the pieces brown properly on all sides.

Remove the pieces and brown the remaining turkey pieces in the same manner.
5
Remove from the pot and set aside.

Bring to a boil, stirring.
9
Cover, reduce the heat to low and cook gently for 70 minutes, or until all the liquid has been absorbed by the rice and the rice and meat are tender.
