Add your leftover turkey to this fantastic fried rice recipe from the Japengo restaurant at the Hyatt Regency Maui Resort & Spa in Maui.

It’s not so much that we can’t stand another bite of leftover turkey, it’s that when turkey is added to Japengo’s famous ” Japengo Fried Rice” recipe, it makes this simple recipe, well, tastier.
Fried rice lovers love that you can add most anything to the base of chilled cooked rice, oyster sauce, garlic and ginger. This recipe is only a guideline. In fact the day I visited the Japengo restaurant on Maui, one of Japengo’s chefs was set up in Hyatt Regency Maui’s expansive atrium lobby “wok-ing to order” the hotel guests’ own ingredient combinations to make individual tastes of fried rice.
