Notes
This recipe was created to use up leftover turkey from Thanksgiving. Any poultry will work just as great - poached or rotisserie chicken are good options.
For additional bulk, add in your favorite cubed root veggie and account for the additional starch. Turnips, parsnips, rutabaga, potato, whatever you like that fits in your way of eating will work great.
You could also add in a cup of heavy cream for a richer stew if you can tolerate dairy.
