Stir-Fried Brown Rice with Turkey and Mushrooms
Ronnie's Notes
This is the kind of dish you can “throw together” for an easy dinner, especially if you have leftover rice. You can vary the ingredients at will. I have used white basmati rice, corn, and lima beans instead of brown rice and peas and have used leftover turkey and chicken instead of raw. Sometimes I replace the curry with a tablespoon of fresh chopped herbs just to change the taste.
Instructions

Bring to a boil over high heat and cook for .
Lower the heat, cover the pan, and cook for or until the rice is tender but still slightly chewy (if all the liquid has not been absorbed drain the rice).

Dish out, chop the eggs coarsely and set them aside.

Return the vegetables to the pan and add the rice, peas, and curry powder.
