Recipes to Use Leftover Cooked Turkey or Chicken

Nov 22 2023
Before we all bounce for a few days to celebrate Thanksgiving, we’re handing off a bunch of easy ways to use your leftover cooked turkey. These recipes call for CHICKEN that’s either already cooked or gets cooked on its own, making it super simple to swap it out for cooked, skinless turkey!

HG FYI: Poultry shrinks by about 25 percent when cooked, so when swapping cooked poultry into a recipe that calls for it raw, you’ll only need about 75% of the original amount. We’ve made it easy by giving you the exact amounts.
