Super easy and super good. I made this tonite as I had leftover turkey that needed to be used. Didn't feel like the regular same old same old so checked out Derf recipe list and this is it. This came together so easy. I did make some changes in that I used homemade biscuits and dented them to fit into cups. DH loved and and again asked is this a recipe from zaar again? OF COURSE! He was very pleased. Thank you for another keeper.
