crispy turkey leftovers
I saw a similar recipe and adapted it to our liking. This is a super way to use up some leftovers in a quick, easy and tasty twist on just the re-heat and serve situation. We love how crispy they are and you can serve them plated with a side or even on a toasted bun for a sandwich !
