Preparation
- Step 1
Drizzle the vegetable oil in a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Once shimmering, add the vegetables. Season with 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until they defrost and begin to brown a bit, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Step 2
Add the rice to the pan. Cold rice tends to clump together, so use your spatula or wooden spoon to break the rice into individual grains. Immediately add the turkey and toss to combine, 15 to 20 seconds. Drizzle soy sauce over the top and continue tossing together until evenly coated.
- Step 3
Turn the heat up to medium-high and make a well in the middle of the rice. Pour the beaten eggs into the middle and let them set for 20 to 30 seconds. Break the eggs up with your spatula and fold them into the rice while tossing everything together. Continue tossing until the egg is cooked and distributed throughout the rice.
- Step 4
Pour the sesame oil over the rice and add the scallion. Give the pan a few good tosses before serving.

@Laurel I rarely put egg in mine, comes out fine. I usually finish with fish sauce and add oyster sauce
Perfect for Black Friday rush! I scrambled four eggs first, seasoned them and set them aside, to then toss them at the end. My family loved it. Thank you!
Just leave it out. The egg doesn't act as a binder in this recipe.
Delicious! I stretched to five servings by using three eggs and three cups of turkey. I think green beans are the perfect veg for it. I think I just found my personal weeknight dinner for a while :)
Take meat out of fridge and dice, set aside. Cook scrambled eggs w skosh soy first and put in med bowl. Stir fry med diced veg about 1-2 min, add to egg. Stir fry rice until all brown, dry, grains separate about 3 min. Add garlic, ginger if you want (some put before rice but garlic burns easily), soy, sesame oil, white/black pepper. Mix well. Add diced meat, veg and egg, break up egg as stirring 1-2 min more. Adjust salt, pepper, soy to taste (or heap some chili crisp on top!)
This was so easy and absolutely delicious. Made this with my grandkids the day after Thanksgiving and it was a fun recipe for us!
