Turkey with Fried Wild Rice

In my home, I make my own wild rice mixture instead of buying it in the store. Doing so is economical, and I can choose the type of rice for my rice mixture. The ratio of rice types is equally added so it can be cooked in the same ratio of water. It is also traditional in Asian households that the leftover cooked rice will be used in numerous ways to make tasty dishes. Like my mom always said to us kids, "Do not waste food because we do not know when or if there will be a next meal".  After Thanksgiving, the leftover turkey can easily be turned into a wonderful Asian fried rice dish. Here is one of them.

Ingredients: 
6 cups of cooked wild rice
3 cups leftover turkey, diced
3 eggs, beaten
2 shallots, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup total of diced carrots, peas, and corn
1 cup bean sprouts
1/4 cup chives or green onions, chopped
2 tbs chopped cilantro
1/4 cup corn oil or peanut oil
Sauce ingredients:
2 tbs soy sauce
1 tsp blackstrap molasses or sugar
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp cayenne

Directions:
Bring a small pot of water to boil and blanch the carrots, peas, and corn. Drain and set aside.

Combine the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
In a wok, add 1 tsp of oil and fry the eggs as an omelette. Sprinkle a pinch of salt on the eggs while making the omelette.

You might need another tsp of oil before all the eggs are done. Let the eggs cool and then slice them into thin strips.

In the same wok, add 1 tbs of oil. Heat oil until hot. Add shallots and garlic, stir, and cook for a minute. Add turkey and the sauce ingredients with the blanched carrots, peas, and corn. Reserve some of the sauce for seasoning the rice later.

Stir and cook turkey for 2 minutes.

Move turkey mixture to the side of the wok (if the wok is big enough) or you can remove turkey mixture onto a plate.

Add the rest of oil into the wok. Add wild rice and continue cooking the rice on moderate heat. Season the rice with the rest of the sauce.

Adjust the seasoning for personal taste by adding maybe a little more soy sauce or salt. If desired, fish sauce can be added it at this point using 1 tsp at a time.

Move the turkey together with the rice. Add half of the egg strips, green onions or chives, and bean sprouts. Mix well. Remove from heat.

Place the rice on a serving plate or bowl. Top with a few more egg strips and cilantro.
