I use a very thick slice of smoked or Cajun seasoned turkey from the deli for this recipe except after Thanksgiving when I use leftover roasted turkey. This is another dish that my vegetable hating child gobbled up. She's 18 now and away at college and still looks forward to having it. My vegetarian son loves it when I leave...
