Ingrédients
- 250g turkey breast, cut into small 1-2cm cubes
- 180g Arborio or Carnaroli rice
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions
- 1.Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Season the turkey cubes with salt and pepper, add them to the pot, and cook for 4-5 minutes until golden brown. Remove the turkey and set aside.
- 2.In the same pot, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5 minutes until soft and translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.
- 3.Add the risotto rice to the pot and stir constantly for 2 minutes to toast the grains. This helps them cook evenly and absorb liquid without becoming mushy.
- 4.Pour in one ladleful (about 200ml) of warm broth. Stir continuously until the liquid is almost completely absorbed by the rice.
- 5.Continue adding the broth one ladleful at a time, stirring frequently and allowing each addition to be absorbed before adding the next. This process should take about 18-20 minutes.
- 6.Once the rice is creamy and 'al dente' (cooked but with a slight bite), stir in the cooked turkey, chopped parsley, and lemon juice. Cook for 1 minute to heat through. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
