Rinse rice until water runs clear, drain.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add olive oil and butter.
When butter is melted, add onion and garlic, saute until softened.
Add rice and turmeric. Stir until combined. Add chicken broth and bay leaf, cover pan. Increase heat and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat, allow to simmer 15-20 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and allow to sit for 5 minutes. Remove bay leaf, fluff with a fork and serve.

Just what I have been looking for a simple yellow rice recipe.

To me, there was too much Turmeric. I will make again, but probably a third less Turmeric. Missing something, but a good base to work from

This is delicious, although I used 2 cups of broth (because that's what I had) and brown jasmine rice, and it took a long time to cook. I'll adjust for next time. Thank you!
