This was a great way to use up some leftover turkey. I added some chopped celery and onion to the filling and it was delicious.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my strata turned out really eggy. I think I might have added too much milk.

This dish was a little too dry for my taste. I think I would add more milk or cream next time.

I'm not a big fan of cranberries, but I really enjoyed this dish. The sweetness of the cranberries was balanced out by the savory flavors of the bread and cheese.
