Cranberry-Turkey Fried Rice
Serves 4
3 eggs, beaten lightly
2 tablespoons finely chopped garlic
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh ginger
1 pound ground turkey
1 bunch scallions, white and green parts sliced thinly, separated
5 cups leftover cooked rice*
2/3 cup chopped dried cranberries
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
Kosher salt, to taste
Canola oil, for cooking
Heat a wok or large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add oil and swirl to
coat the pan very well. When the oil shimmers, add the eggs, which will puff
up. Allow to set, about 5 seconds, and using a wok spatula or similar tool,
push the sides of the egg mass toward the center to allow uncooked egg to
reach the pan and solidify. Flip the mass, allow it to set, about 5 seconds,
and slide onto a paper towel-lined plate; do not overcook. With the edge of
the spatula, break the eggs into small pieces. Set aside. Add oil to lightly
coat and swirl to coat the pan. When the oil shimmers, add the garlic and
ginger and stir-fry until soft, about 2 minutes. Add the turkey and the
white parts of the scallions and cook through, breaking up any large chunks,
about 5 minutes. Add the rice and cranberries and toss thoroughly until
heated through. Add the soy sauce, white pepper and reserved eggs and toss.
Correct the seasoning if necessary, transfer to a platter, and garnish with
the scallion greens. Serve immediately.
*If you only have fresh rice, use the freezer technique: spread cooked rice
on sheet pans and allow to dry out in freezer for about 2-3 hours.

Wine Notes:
2005 Louis Latour Pinot Noir Chanfleure
This wine is 100% Cote d'Or Pinot Noir. A lovely pinot noir with earthy
tones and supple tannins, this is lovely with the Duck "Cassoulet."
