- 2 cups shredded cooked turkey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp soy sauce

To Serve

Instructions
- Prepare the garlic: Mince the garlic cloves finely to release their flavor before cooking.
- Sauté the garlic: Heat a skillet or pan over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant and lightly golden, about 1-2 minutes, being careful not to burn it.

- Serve: Spoon the savory turkey mixture over bowls of hot steamed rice and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- You can substitute leftover turkey with cooked chicken if desired.
- Adjust the soy sauce and sugar quantities to taste for more or less sweetness or saltiness.
- For extra flavor, add a dash of toasted sesame oil or chopped scallions before serving.
- This dish is best served fresh but can be refrigerated and reheated gently on the stovetop.
