What a great way to have your leftover turkey, chicken, ham or anything else leftover. It looks beautiful and tastes ever so good. I serve this with a fresh green salad and that's it. Try this for a bridge luncheon or company dinner. Depending on the appetites cut the pie accordingly. This recipe was originally from Appeal Magazine
