TURKEY + BEANS
Great way to rehydrate the cooked turkey from a different meal. That, or just purchase cooked turkey breasts and slice them. Quick creamy meal that was good, but I felt that it needed some sort of accompaniment. DefiniteIy don't skip the lemon zest at the end because the pow comes from that. I added an extra 1/2 cup of whole milk because it came out too dry, but that might be a preference for some.
