Fast forward a few decades, and I find myself making not my parents version of Turkey a la King, but this tasty recipe I found on the Taste of Home website. Leftover turkey never tasted so good. Bites of turkey with fresh mushrooms, green pepper, peas, in a flavorful sauce composed of milk, chicken broth and seasoning. Ladle over rice and you have an appetizing dinner for your family.

Looks healthy and so delicious! A perfect weekday meal, Geraldine.
ReplyDeleteYour recipe looks good — that method is one of my go-to ways to use leftover chicken or turkey. Over rice or toast or noodles! Sometimes with red bell pepper or even a jar of grilled peppers (drained of course). But always fresh mushrooms!
