Leftover Turkey Pineapple Fried Rice

For a new spin on turkey leftovers, this dish steps outside the Thanksgiving-flavor-profile-box with a fresh, spicy, easy variation of the Thai dish, pineapple fried rice. This dish can just as easily be made with any other leftover meat or poultry, as well as tofu or tempeh. You might even already have some or all of the ingredients, which is a plus when you've already spent so much time and money on the actual Thanksgiving dinner! I used shredded drumstick meat below, but feel free to use cubed breast meat, if you prefer.
