What Cut Of Turkey To Use?

When it’s not around Thanksgiving time, we usually use thinly sliced deli meat. Any variety or flavor will work! And if you have leftover turkey after the holidays, it’s fine to use turkey breast instead of deli meat.

How Long Does Leftover Turkey Last?

Leftover turkey lasts around 4 days. Keep it cool and refrigerate it in a sealed container.

Can I Use Leftover Chicken Instead?

Yes, absolutely! Leftover chicken or deli chicken meat will both work well for this recipe. Cut the chicken into evenly sliced pieces, so it cooks evenly.

Can I Use A Different Cheese?

Yep! We use a combination of white American cheese and gouda, but you can use your favorite. Here are some to consider:

• Cheddar
• Swiss
• Provolone
• Colby Jack
• Monterey Jack
• Velveeta
