Leftover Turkey Recipe:
Sweet and Sour Turkey

Another leftover turkey recipe, this one adds a little sweet and sour to the bird.

I love turkey, as most of us do, and leftovers are wonderful. But there are just so many times you want to eat hot turkey sandwiches and casseroles.

It's nice to take a break from the regular casserole type turkey leftovers, as good as they are. This recipes is a nice change.

I love this electric skillet. It has a smooth, brushed stainless steel exterior with solid cast stainless handles. The nonstick cooking surface eliminates the need for excess butter or oil for healthier cooking. Plus, with the temperature probe removed, it is dishwasher-safe.
