4 cups cooked rice cooled and refrigerated for at least 4 hours or overnight
½ tablespoons avocado oil divided
4 eggs beaten
2 ½ cups leftover turkey meat chopped into bite sized cubes or shredded
1 medium onion diced
3-5 cloves garlic minced
1 ½ cups frozen mixed vegetables thawed
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon white pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
3 green onions sliced
Sesame seeds for garnish

Start with cold, day-old rice - this is crucial for avoiding mushy fried rice.
Heat your skillet and scramble the eggs in a little oil until fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, heat the leftover turkey just until warmed through.
Sauté the diced onions until translucent, then add garlic and cook until fragrant.
Add thawed mixed vegetables and cook until heated.
Combine rice, turkey, eggs, and green onions in the pan.
Season with soy sauce, sesame oil, white pepper, and garlic powder.
Toss everything together and cook until hot throughout.
