Creating Leftover Turkey Fried Rice is an easy process that follows these simple steps:

7. Season: Taste and add salt and pepper to your liking. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.

8. Optional Eggs: In a separate small skillet, scramble the beaten eggs until fully cooked, then add them to the fried rice mixture, incorporating well.

9. Finish With Green Onions: Stir in the sliced green onions and remove from heat.

10. Garnish: Optionally, garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
