Notes

  • Use leftover turkey that's been stored properly. For best quality and safety, leftover turkey should be used within 3-4 days.
  • If you have other veggies in your fridge to use up, toss them in. Carrots, asparagus, or even some diced potatoes would be delicious additions. 
  • If you prefer a thicker, creamier sauce, you can thicken it with a cornstarch slurry. Mix equal parts cornstarch and cold water, then stir it into the slow cooker and let it cook for a few more minutes until the sauce thickens.
  • On the other hand, if you like a thinner sauce, you can add a splash of chicken stock to loosen it up.
  • If you don't have leftover turkey on hand, feel free to substitute cooked, shredded chicken instead.
