To prepare a turkey barley soup rice recipe, you will first need to prepare the ingredients for the soup. You will need the following ingredients: 1 1/2 cups (240 milliliters) water, 1 tablespoon (2.5 ml) kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon (0.5 g) dried oregano, and 1/2 cup (120 julienne) chopped thyme. Bring the water to boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer the mixture until the liquid is reduced by half, about 20 minutes. Remove the saucepan from heat and add the turkey and the remaining ingredients. Allow the rice to cook for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve with sour cream, if desired.
