Add the garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds.
Add the rinsed rice and sauté, stirring often, for 1 minute.
Stir in the turmeric and salt.
Pour in the chicken broth and stir. Bring to a gentle boil then reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer gently for 18 to 20 minutes, until the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and allow to sit, covered, for 5 minutes.

Notes
For a vegetarian version, substitute the chicken broth with either vegetable broth or water. If using water, you may need to slightly increase the amount of salt.
