Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Turkey Fried Rice with Leftovers.
Step 1
Start by generously spraying a large pan with nonstick cooking spray and warming it over medium heat.
Step 2
Once the pan is ready, toss in the diced onion and sauté it until it becomes translucent, which should take about five minutes.
Step 3
Next, add in the frozen peas and carrots along with a dollop of butter.
Step 4
Stir everything together and let it cook for another three to five minutes, allowing the butter to melt and the vegetables to thaw beautifully.
Step 5
Now, it’s time to turn up the heat! Increase it to medium-high and introduce the cold, cooked rice and diced turkey to the pan.
Step 6
Drizzle in soy sauce, adding two tablespoons at a time, and stir until the rice takes on a lovely, even color.
Step 7
To create a little magic in the pan, push the rice mixture to the sides, forming a well in the center.
Step 8
Pour in the sesame oil and give everything a good stir, ensuring that every grain of rice is well-coated in that delicious flavor.
Step 9
Once that’s done, push the mixture to the sides again and crack a couple of eggs right into the center.
Step 10
Scramble the eggs until they’re set, which should take about two to three minutes, then mix them into the rice until everything is harmoniously combined.
Step 11
Enjoy the delightful aroma and the vibrant colors of your dish as you prepare to serve it up!.
