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!
