Turkey a la king is old-fashioned comfort at its best, folding tender turkey, sauteed green peppers, and mushrooms into a rich, creamy sauce. Spooned over buttered toast, it is exactly what you want after the holidays when there is leftover bird to use up. Warm, satisfying, and quick to pull together, it turns a fridge full of scraps into a meal worth sitting down for.
