How many of you accumulated more than just one Turkey for your freezer at Thanksgiving?  When Turkey’s on sale at the grocery store, it’s a great meal plan. There so many different types of meals you can make from a single Roasted Turkey; Turkey Chili, Turkey Soup, Turkey Tacos, Turkey Casserole and many more. Sunday night I decided to pull out one of those turkeys in the freezer and roast it. With the leftovers I started a simple Turkey stock to add to my freezer and made Family Style Turkey Skillet using shredded turkey meat.

This Family Style Spinach Turkey Skillet is a simple dish that can be made in a matter of minutes. Perfect dish for a school night recipe. This dish was created as one of my weeknight family meals in my March Monthly Menu Plan.

Ingredients:

2 Tablespoons olive oil

2 cups cooked turkey meat, shredded
