Background
This leftover turkey fried rice is perfect for using up roasted turkey (or chicken, duck etc ). It’s very easy to make and you can use other veggies if preferred (such as courgette, broad beans, savoy cabbage etc). For a more spicy version you can add ginger, cinnamon, chilli, turmeric, coriander powder and garam masala.
