Ingredients

4 servings

Casserole

1 lb ground turkey
1 cup long-grain white rice, uncooked
1 bunch asparagus (about 12 oz), tough ends snapped off, cut into 1½-inch pieces
2 cups chicken broth
Butcher's Organic Chicken Bone Broth Wegmans Organic Chicken Bone Broth Bell & Evans Air Chilled Organic Chicken Bone Broth

See all
1 tbsp fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
Ingredient note
Interstitial cystitis treats warming spices like ginger as test-your-tolerance because they can irritate a sensitive bladder, but the small amount in this recipe (~3/4 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid fresh ginger, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
1 tsp ground turmeric
Ingredient note
Turmeric can trigger interstitial cystitis symptoms in some people, but the small amount in this recipe (~1/4 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid turmeric, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
1 tsp dried thyme
½ tsp dried oregano
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp olive oil, divided
2 medium carrots, peeled and diced small

For serving

2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly coat a 3-quart baking dish (or a large oven-safe skillet) with a thin film of olive oil and set aside.
2
Heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it into small crumbles with a spoon, for 5–7 minutes until no pink remains and the meat is cooked through to 165°F (74°C) on an instant-read thermometer. Season with ½ tsp of the salt. Transfer the cooked turkey to the prepared baking dish.
