1. Combine the rice, stock or broth, bay leaf, cumin, cinnamon and nutmeg; bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer. Cover, and cook for a total of 17 minutes, until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed.

3. Meanwhile, wash, trim, seed and chop the whole pepper, add to onion and cook until pepper begins to soften.
4. Cut up the turkey, and stir into the onions with the relish and the cranberries.
5. Add the cooked rice; remove the bay leaf, and mix the rice with the turkey mixture. Season with salt and pepper.
