Frugal Foodie Friday - Remains of the Day - Turkey Fried Rice

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...This very inexpensive meal makes good use of those last bits of meat that cling to a turkey carcass. It has the added advantage of being quick and easy to prepare, and while it is very basic, it makes a very satisfying meal. There are no tricks to preparing a good fried rice, but it is important to have all of the ingredients measured and ready to go before you begin to heat your wok or frying pan. Chinese-type dishes are can be disappointing if the vegetables used in them are cooked past the crisp-tender stage and it is very easy to do that if you have to step away from the pan to chop or fetch an ingredient. I do hope you'll give this super simple frugal Friday recipe a try. Here is how turkey fried rice is made.
