Instructions
Prepare rice according to package directions.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the 1 tbsp butter. Once hot, add the cooked rice, Thanksgiving stuffing, and turkey. Stir to combine and heat through for about 4 minutes.
In another non-stick skillet, add remaining butter, and heat over medium-low heat. Pour a quarter of the egg mixture into the skillet, swirling to coat the bottom evenly. Cook for about 3 minutes, or until the edges begin to set and the bottom is lightly golden.
Once the omelet is mostly set but still slightly runny on top, add a portion of the rice and stuffing mixture, about 1/4 of the filling to one half of the omelet. Sprinkle with cheese.
Carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the filling. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until the cheese melts and the omelet is cooked through. Slide the omelet onto a plate and keep warm. Repeat the process with the remaining egg mixture and filling to make three more omelets.
Garnish with chives. Add cranberry sauce on the side, if using.
