Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 2 cups roast turkey, diced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup frozen green beans, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1/2 cup frozen green peas
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 carrot, diced
- 3 cups cooked white rice
- 2 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Green onions, for garnishing (optional)
Instructions
- Cook Veggies & Turkey: Heat the oil in a large skillet and begin frying the peas, broccoli, carrots, onions, and green beans. Once the veggies are cooked, toss in the cut turkey and mix.
- Add Rice: Add the cooked white rice and stir gently. Continue cooking on low heat.
- Add Gluten-Free Soy Sauce:Â After 3 minutes, pour in the gluten-free soy sauce and stir-fry the ingredients for another 3 minutes.
- Cook Eggs: Make a well in the middle of the pan and pour in the beaten eggs, then add a little salt.
- Mix Well: Wait a couple of minutes for the eggs to cook, and then stir gently until the rice, veggies and eggs are evenly distributed.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh chopped green onions over the fried rice and serve.
Notes
Oil: I used sunflower oil because I always have a bottle of it on hand, but any vegetable oil (such as canola oil, olive oil, avocado oil) will also work just as well.
Turkey: This recipe uses leftover roast turkey. Simply cut the cooked turkey meat into 1-inch cubes before using it. Alternatively, if you wish to make this with leftover roast chicken, that would work as well.
Veggies: I used a mix of broccoli, green beans, green peas, onions and carrots. However, feel free to use the veggies of your choice (such as bell peppers, zucchini, etc).
Rice: I recommend using cooked long grain white rice (preferably rice that has been cooked and left overnight so the rice doesn’t clump together) or cooked basmati rice.
Soy Sauce: I used gluten-free soy sauce to keep this recipe gluten-free. However, if you are allergic to soy, feel free to use coconut aminos instead.
Eggs: Eggs are important in this recipe because of the flavor and color, so I definitely recommend not skipping them.
Garnishes: I used chopped green onions for garnish, but you can also use chopped chives or parsley if you prefer.
Storing: To store, place the turkey fried rice in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop before serving.
