Slow cook the congee
Place the covered Dutch oven or casserole dish on the bottom shelf of the June Oven. Slow cook the congee on High for 3 hours or on Low for 7 hours, until the rice has almost completely broken down and the congee has thickened. It should have a porridge-like consistency, neither too thick nor too thin. June will notify you when the congee is ready.

Remove the aromatics and add the turkey
Remove the Dutch oven or casserole from the June Oven and uncover. Using a fork or tongs, remove and discard the green onion, ginger pieces, garlic clove and star anise. Stir in the turkey meat.

1 cup shredded cooked turkey meat
Serve
Serve the congee. The congee will continue to thicken as it cools, but adding hot broth or water by the tablespoonful will thin the consistency, if desired. Store the congee in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
