Entree: Turkey Slop

Posting in time for Thanksgiving leftovers. What do you do with the leftovers that aren't quite fit for a sandwich? Make turkey slop! Growing up my mother always made this with leftover turkey, only she called it something much more tasty-sounding (that I have forgotten from over a decade of calling it turkey slop.) In our penchant for renaming meals that come into our house, the first time I served this to my then-boyfriend-now-husband, he called it turkey slop and the name stuck. This meal is a required meal about 2 days after a turkey is served at our house because that's about when we're down to the appropriate amount and parts of the leftover turkey.
