Healthy Fried Rice Recipe (Turkey and Vegetables With Leftover Rice)

When Bon Appétit’s Andrew Knowlton (“The Foodist”) suggests something food-related, I listen. During a live Q&A on Bon Appétit’s Facebook page, I had asked for his favorite “quick & easy, kid-friendly recipe”. As a result, I created an easy healthy fried rice recipe.

One of his responses was “some sort of rice stir-fry with a bunch of veggies and a tablespoon or two of bacon”. I changed the meat, but the stir-fry suggestion was a gem. This simple recipe that I came up with has become a family favorite. It only takes approximately 20 minutes to prepare when I use leftover rice.

Recipe Notes

*You can substitute any other seasonal vegetables for my vegetable picks. I like to switch things up with various peppers and zucchini.

*You can always adjust the soy sauce level (by adding more or less) depending on your family’s taste.

*For an even healthier fried rice, you can substitute low-sodium soy sauce, coconut aminos (soy sauce replacement), or tamari (a gluten-free version of soy sauce) for the regular soy sauce.

Thanks Andrew!
