"Is there anything more comforting than creamed turkey and vegetables served over a thick slice of warm toast? Delicious and creamy and the perfect way to use up leftover holiday turkey!"
"Growing up I had creamed turkey after almost after every Thanksgiving and Christmas turkey dinner…it was one of the staples to use up our turkey leftovers and I loved it. I have made it over the years for my family. I always buy a larger turkey than I need so I have left overs to make a few new dishes! I make Turkey and Rice Soup, Turkey & Toast, Pot Pie, and of course Turkey & Stuffing Sandwiches! So, so good." #Winnerwinnerturkeydinner!
