Turkey Fried Rice

I love a good fried rice recipe.  It is a great way to use up leftover rice.  I have shared a chicken and ham version before.  This is a turkey fried rice version that I found in my recent issue of Simple and Delicious.  It uses ground turkey.

I loved it except for the crunchy peanut butter.  I didn’t appreciate the peanut bits and didn’t feel the bits really contributed to the dish.  So the recipe below includes my change to creamy peanut butter.  It was a dish loved by all.  Another thing that I love about this recipe is it calls for bean sprouts.  I LOVE bean sprouts!
