Leftovers Never Tasted So Good!

Most people eat turkey mainly atThanksgiving dinner and perhaps a sandwich later that night, which is myfavorite time. There is always a goodly amount of extra meat and cooks often wonder what todo with the leftovers, so they don’t taste like dried out leftovers. Sure,there’s turkey soup and enough meat to make more sandwiches than a family canconsume. So how about a dish fit for a king and everyone in the realm? Thisrecipe is a perfect, and easy, way to enjoy a warm, filling meal without thatleftover taste.
