Chef notes
This is the best post-Thanksgiving lunch! It's a great way to use up leftover turkey, and it makes for a nice, light meal after a day of feasting. Serve it over your favorite bread or as a salad and scoop it up with crackers.
Technique tip: To perfectly shred the turkey, use a stand mixer or just cut into smaller pieces with a knife.
Swap option: Rotisserie chicken or any cooked chicken.
