Note
For best results, ensure the rice is completely cooled before mixing with the eggs to prevent clumping.
You can substitute leftover chicken or ham for the turkey if desired.
Fresh basil can be used instead of dried basil; use 1 tablespoon of fresh chopped basil in place of 1 teaspoon dried.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven.
