Leftover Turkey Casserole

My favourite leftover turkey casserole is called Turkey Divine. This is a dish that reminds me of my childhood as my Mom made it (and still does!) every Christmas with some of our leftover turkey. Turkey is delicious and nutritious and if you cook a large one, there are plenty of opportunities and ideas for how to use up your left overs.

Of course, we always enjoy turkey sandwiches, however in our family we often buy a turkey that is so large we can get many meals out of the turkey leftovers.
