Serves 4

This casserole is a great option for using up leftovers after a large turkey or chicken dinner. To make it a meal, serve with a tossed salad or steamed peas and carrots.


In a large nonstick saucepan over medium-high heat, heat 1/4 cup of the chicken broth until it simmers. Add the celery, onions and bell pepper. Cook until the vegetables are tender-crisp, about 4 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low, letting the mixture cool slightly.

In a medium bowl, add the turkey or chicken cubes and flour. Toss gently until the flour coats the meat. Add to the vegetables and broth, cooking over low heat for about 5 minutes. Raise heat to medium high. Slowly add the remaining broth, wine, parsley, rosemary and black pepper. Cook and stir until the sauce thickens slightly. To serve, spoon 1/4 of the casserole over each piece of toast.


  • 1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup diced celery
  • 1/3 cup diced onions
  • 1/2 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 2 cups cooked turkey or chicken, cubed
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose (plain) flour
  • 3 tablespoons white wine
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
