This is a dinner a friend (BMCC member) brought to me and my husband a week or so after my first daughter was born. We enjoyed it so much I got the recipe from her. We've been enjoying it ever since. It's a great use of that left over chicken. I'm sure you could make it with turkey too. I haven't tried it.
