After eating turkey for a couple of days, I wanted a meal that didn't remind me of Thanksgiving food! This recipe certainly did the trick. It is easy to prepare, delicious and a great way to use your leftover turkey. It is a one-pot meal, so bake some cornbread to go with it, and enjoy! Note: The inspiration for this recipe came from our good friend, Chef Andy, and his Awesome Baked Garlic Chicken recipe, which has become one of our favorite meals. http://www.justapinch.com/recipes/main-course/main-course-chicken/awesome-baked-garlic-chicken.html?p=2 ... Do try it; it is delicious.
