Turkey Twist
Our Favorite use of leftover turkey so far.  Adapted from Karen's chicken puffs.

Make your favorite roll recipe and let the dough rise.
In the meantime:
Saute:
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 cloves minced garlic
chopped celery (optional)

Add:
1/2 tsp. salt
6 oz. cream cheese
2 cups cubed turkey
chopped almonds (optional)

Roll out enough dough to fill a jellyroll pan.  (Add just enough flour to keep it from sticking or cover with parchment paper.)  Place the turkey mixture down the middle of the rectangle.  Cut the dough horizontally from the edge toward the turkey mixture on each side.  Then weave the dough over the turkey mixture alternating sides.  (Be creative with this part.  You can also fill individual rolls with the turkey mixture.)

Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with seasoned breadcrumbs.  

Bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes.  Smother with leftover gravy and enjoy!
