Leftover Turkey Fried Rice Recipe.

Ingredients:

1/2 TBSP vegetable oil
1/2 cup onions, finely chopped (approximately half an onion)
1 TSP garlic, minced
1 small jalapeño pepper, sliced (optional for a spicy kick)
1 + 1/2 cups leftover cooked turkey, shredded or cubed into 1/2-inch thick pieces
2 eggs
3 cups white rice, cooked
1 TBSP soy sauce
1/2 TBSP sesame oil
1 TSP vegetable stock powder
1 TSP white pepper
1 TSP salt
1 TSP ground black pepper
1 cup carrots and peas vegetable mix, frozen
1/2 TBSP green onions, finely chopped
1 TSP white sesame seeds (for garnish)

Recipe Instructions:

Heat oil in a large wok or skillet over medium high heat for 2 minutes until sizzling and hot.
Add onions and garlic and sauté for 2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in jalapeño (if using).
Add shredded or cubed turkey and stir to combine, about 1 minute.
Move the turkey mixture to one side of the skillet and add eggs to the empty space in the skillet.
Stir the eggs until scrambled and cooked through, yet still tender, about 1 minute.
(The eggs should be springy and bright in colour, and not too dry at this stage).
Stir to combine all ingredients together.
Add cooked rice and all seasoning including soy sauce, sesame oil, vegetable stock powder, white pepper, salt and black pepper.
Stir well to combine, about 2 minutes.
If the rice is not soft enough, add up to 1/4 cup of water to soften it.
Add carrots and peas, and stir fry for 2 minutes while evenly mixing and distributing the ingredients.
Then, stir in green onions.
Serve hot on a plate, and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
