This recipe is filled with so many memories for me. This was our leftover turkey go to meal and I absolutely love it. It’s pure comfort. She isn’t a looker of a meal, but she is good. So easy to make too.
Made up of a basic roux and then you add the leftover shredded turkey. You can also use chicken for this. I’ve also used a rotisserie chicken for this during non Thanksgiving times and it’s also really good. But the gold standard is turkey.
Next, a very important step, you need to toast the bread and cover it with lots and lots of butter. Cover it with the turkey mixture and enjoy your new favorite leftover meal.
