Turkey a la King
This turkey a la King is made from leftover Thanksgiving turkey and the leftover turkey gravy. It produces an incredibly flavorful a la King with a rich but lighter sauce because there is less cream. Straying from the traditional I added jalapeños and left out the peas since my husband will not eat them!

Turkey a la King Turkey a la King
Here's another recipe that's great after having leftover turkey. Adding the turkey into a luscious bechamel sauce keeps the meat moist. This also utilizes more of your leftover veggies. A classic a la king uses onion but I had scallions. It also uses mushrooms but my husband is allergic to them. I added an extra bell pepper in place of them. You can serve this classically by itself, with toast points or over rice. One thing I like about this is I can make it using leftovers but then freeze it for later use.
