Our family's traditional "Leftovers" is Turkey South of the Border.

Don't remember where we got the recipe, but been doing it for a LONG time (I was either a teen or young 20's)! And because it's a long time, the recipe is pretty....eyeball for amounts.. So this is basically for a 9x13? pan?

TSOB

Grease baking pan

In a big bowl mix:

Med container of sour cream

Can of Cream of Chicken Soup (feel free to make your own)

Med Container of Salsa (your favorite)

Chop or shred turkey (or chicken is great, too) (This is great for dark meat!)

Bag of Cool Ranch Doritos (Or your favorite generic brand of tortilla chips - Or make your own Keto!) - crushed up

Shredded colby/jack or your favorite

Now you do a lasagna layers

Start with a bit of sauce, then chips, turkey, sauce, cheese.

Repeat till you are out of ingredients or at the top of the pan. (You can use the spoon to chunk through it to spread the sauce better before the last layer of cheese.)

Bake 350 for about 30ish-40 minutes or cheese is golden brown and bubbly (Longer if you are using cold turkey and sauce) ( - for fast meal, heat the shredded/chopped turkey in with the other ingredients, except chips and cheese, layer like the recipe, and then bake 400 for 10-15 min (cheese melted and golden))

This does taste even better the next day, and cooking the slower way does blend the tastes better.

Serve with sour cream and lettuce/tomato or fresh Pico de Gallio.
