Turkey and Kale Red Curry Fried Rice

I just used up the last of the thanksgiving turkey this week. I made turkey pot pie, turkey and potato hash, stir fried turkey, and turkey stock from the carcasses and bones.

With the last of the turkey, I made fried rice with red curry paste, basil and kale.

I always keep several small cans of red curry on hand. This way I always have it and I don't have a lot of unused open cans in the refrigerator. I make curry with it (obviously). I sometimes use it in pasta. And often times, I make fried rice with it.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon cooking oil
• 3 cups stale cooked white rice
• 1 cup shredded cooked turkey meet
• 2 cloves garlic - minced
• A knob of ginger - peeled and chopped
• 2 tablespoons red curry paste (more if you like it spicy.)
• 2 - 3 cups of kale - washed and leaves ripped into bite size, stem discarded
• 1 cup of basil leaves - roughly ripped
• Fish sauce and red pepper flakes to taste

Directions

1. In a large wok or non-stick pan heat the cooking oil over medium high heat.
2. Cook turkey with garlic, ginger and the curry paste until slightly brown (about 4-5 minutes.) Add rice. Stir until the spice is evenly distributed.
3. Add kale. Season with fish sauce and pepper flake if needed. When the kale is cooked but not thoroughly wilted (just about a few minutes), turn of the heat and add basil. Reserve a few leaves for garnish.
