Instructions
Creating Leftover Turkey Fried Rice is a breeze if you follow these straightforward steps:
1. Prepare the Rice: If using freshly cooked rice, spread it on a tray to cool and dry out a bit for better frying.
2. Heat Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
3. Sauté Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the hot oil, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Add Vegetables: Toss in the mixed vegetables and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
5. Cook Eggs: Push the vegetables to the side of the pan, and pour the beaten eggs into the pan. Scramble them until fully cooked, then mix with the vegetables.
6. Stir in Turkey: Add the diced leftover turkey to the pan, stirring everything together for a couple of minutes to heat thoroughly.
7. Add Rice: Incorporate the cooked rice, breaking up any clumps. Stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until the rice is heated through.
8. Season: Pour the soy sauce and sesame oil over the rice, mixing well to ensure everything is evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
9. Finish with Green Onions: Add the sliced green onions and toss everything one last time until combined.
10. Serve: Remove from heat and serve hot. Enjoy your delicious Leftover Turkey Fried Rice!
