This was a great way to use up leftover turkey. DH actually liked it, and I was able to sneak some meat into my picky 3 year old's diet this way!

I also added corn. I found the onion soup to be a bit strong and I didn't enjoy the flavors so much. But DH did.

A tasty and different way to use up the turkey leftovers! My family thanks you for saving them from another post Christmas casserole.

Very good and simple way to use the last of the turkey. The only addition to the recipe was adding 1 pkg of frozen corn. Very good and very filling. Thanks Linda for sharing.
