Steps:
- Heat oil in a large wok or skillet over medium high heat for 2 minutes until sizzling and hot. Add onions and garlic and sauté for 2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in jalapeño (if using).
- Add shredded or cubed turkey and stir to combine, about 1 minute. Move the turkey mixture to one side of the skillet and add eggs to the empty space in the skillet. Stir the eggs until scrambled and cooked through, yet still tender, about 1 minute. (The eggs should be springy and bright in colour, and not too dry at this stage). Stir to combine all ingredients together.
- Add cooked rice and all seasoning including soy sauce, sesame oil, vegetable stock powder, white pepper, salt and black pepper. Stir well to combine, about 2 minutes. If the rice is not soft enough, add up to 1/4 cup of water to soften it.
- Add carrots and peas, and stir fry for 2 minutes while evenly mixing and distributing the ingredients. Then, stir in green onions.
- Serve hot on a plate, and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a tastier fried rice.
- Cook the rice ahead of time. Cold, day-old rice is best for fried rice.
- Use a large skillet or wok. This will help you avoid overcrowding the rice and ensure that it cooks evenly.
- Heat the skillet or wok over high heat. This will help to create a nice sear on the rice and prevent it from sticking.
- Add the rice to the skillet or wok and spread it out in an even layer. Don't stir it right away.
- Let the rice cook for a few minutes without stirring. This will help to create a crispy crust on the bottom of the rice.
- Once the rice has started to brown, begin stirring it. Continue to stir the rice until it is heated through.
- Add your desired vegetables, protein, and seasonings. Stir to combine.
- Cook until the vegetables are tender and the protein is cooked through.
- Serve immediately. Fried rice is best served hot.
