Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups cooked white rice
- 2 cups cooked turkey (shredded or diced)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion (diced)
- 1 medium carrot (diced)
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 stalks green onions (sliced)
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons salt (optional)
Instructions
Ensure your rice is fully cooked and cooled beforehand. Leftover rice works best for this recipe.
Heat the sesame oil and vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the diced onion and carrot to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes or until the vegetables begin to soften.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds or until fragrant.
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and crack the eggs into the empty side. Scramble the eggs until fully cooked, then mix them back with the vegetables.
Add the shredded or diced turkey to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, to heat through.
Mix in the cooked rice, breaking up any clumps with your spatula, and stir until well combined with the other ingredients.
Pour the soy sauce evenly over the rice mixture. Stir well to coat every grain in the sauce.
Add the frozen peas and ground black pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the peas are heated through.
Taste the fried rice and add salt if needed.
Garnish with sliced green onions before serving. Enjoy your turkey fried rice hot!
