Turkey breasts with rice

I refuse to cook turkey at Christmas prefering to treat it just the same as any other meat and serve it when I want to. In the UK, it is gradually becoming easier to find turkey outside of the big cities all year round and the number of available recipes is increasing. In this Spanish recipe it is served with Bomba rice
