Narrative:
I was flying back to ZZZ on a cross country when I hit turbulence. I pulled the throttle back to lose some airspeed; but when I pushed it back in; it stayed at idle. I checked fuel; mags; mixture; etc.; with no response so I found a suitable field and landed with no damage to the aircraft.
