"This is for OAMC so it makes 2, 4 quart and 1, 2 quart casseroles. My family loves dark meat, that is why I used the thigh and leg but you can use white meat instead. A great comfort food and way to use left over turkey meat. My family loves this casserole. Would make a great Pot Luck dish."

I live in Southern Maine The Way Life Should Be with my husband of 30 years, 2 teenage kids and my dog a 130 pound Rottweiler lap dog! During the summer we stay across the street from Wells Beach in our small Maine Cottage and the rest of the year in our house in Lyman which is about 1/2 hour from President Bush's compound at Walkers Point in Kennebunkport. I have a great sense of humor and love to laugh. I love to cook. My pet peeve is people who have no manners; like saying please and thank you, etc. etc. and salespeople who chew gum! <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/untitled.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg> <a href=http://www.maploco.com/view.php?id=2784515><img border=0 src=http://www.maploco.com/vmap/2784515.png alt=Visitor Map></a><a href=http://www.maploco.com/>Create your own visitor map!</a> <img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Participation.jpg> <img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg>
