Turkey a la king (a riff on chicken a la king) is one of the best ways to reinvent your Thanksgiving leftovers. It features a creamy gravy that's rich with mushrooms and cooked turkey. Serve it over toast for a comforting meal.
Ingredients

- 3/4 cup sliced celery
- 1/4 cup diced green pepper

- 3 cups cubed cooked turkey or chicken
