This is an excellent recipe for all that leftover turkey! After a couple of days of eating Turkey sandwiches, pot pies, and soup, this is a great new twist to the same old same old. It's quick, easy, and delicious. It doesn't taste like you are eating turkey. It tastes like Chinese fried rice. My family can't eat this enough. I make it once a week. You can use leftover chicken if you don't have turkey. I hope you love it as much as we do!

How To Make turkey fried rice

Step 1

Leftover cold rice is always best. But if none, make 4 cups (prepared) of jasmine rice according to package directions.

Step 2

In a very large skillet or Wok, add peanut oil, butter, and garlic.
Step 3

Add mushrooms first (since they will absorb the flavors as they cook). Cook for 2 min.
Step 4

Add onions. Salt & pepper mixture.
Step 5

Separate mixture to one side of the pan. On the other side add eggs and cook them like scramble eggs.
Step 6

Once eggs are cooked combine them with rest of mixture in pan.
Step 7

Add turkey and season with garlic & onion powder. Then add peas. Stir mixture.
Step 8

Add cooked rice to pan.
Step 9

Give a few good shakes of soy sauce on rice.
Step 10

Combine rice with rest of ingredients in pan. Taste and season as needed.
Step 11

Add green onions and stir once or twice and serve.
Step 12

Variations: You can add or replace these suggestions. Swap out peas for carrots. Swap out mushrooms for bean sprouts. The trick is to not overload on the items and keep it simple.
