Chicken & Turkey Leftovers

Whether you have copious leftovers from your Thanksgiving gobbler, a meaty chicken breast remaining from Sunday’s roasted chicken, or even ready-made “leftovers” from a just-bought rotisserie chicken from the supermarket, Grandma has dozens of recipes that put cooked chicken and turkey to good use!

And Grandma is all about substitutions: She knows that if the recipe says to use turkey, there’s no reason at all that you can’t use chicken—and vice versa!
