Green Curry Fried Rice with Ground Turkey and Spinach

.... or how I used all things leftover in my refrigerator. Well, the ground turkey wasn't exactly a leftover. I picked it up on the way home from a supermarket. I was actually thinking about cooking red curry fried rice instead because it's more would have been prettier. You know - green spinach on red background. But I made that a bunch of times. I wanted to try something new.



Ingredients

• 5 cloves garlic - minced


• 2 inches fresh ginger - minced


• 1 onion - chopped


• 1/2 pound ground turkey


• 1/2 cup green curry paste


• 3 cups staled cooked rice


• 1 cup frozen mixed vegetable


• 1/2 pound spinach - very roughly chopped


• 2 tablespoon cooking oil


• Fish sauce

Directions

1. Heat a huge non-stock pan on medium high heat. Add oil. Stir in garlic. Add turkey. Stir vigorously for a few minutes. Add ginger and onion. Add green curry paste. Stir and stir and stir until turkey looks cooked.


2. Stir in rice. Stir some more. Let cook for a few minutes. Add frozen vegetable. When the vegetable becomes un-frozen, add spinach. Turn off the heat. Mix everything together one last time. Season with fish sauce if needed.

So - there - I used up my old ginger + onion + stale rice + all leftover spinach from the weekend + frozen vegetable. And I got yummy spicy fried rice for dinner and lunch!

Mission accomplished.
