What to do with leftover turkey...

With Thanksgiving right around the corner (Holy Cow!!!), I thought I should start working on some "leftover" recipes for our favorite Thanksgiving foods.  This one I made for dinner tonight.  If you don't have leftover turkey, it also works great with leftover chicken.  This recipe is a tasty change from normal turkey salad and it's very simple to make.  It'll take you 15 minutes to prep and 20 minutes to bake.  If you're as busy as we are during the holiday season, it's nice to have a great meal that doesn't take a lot of work.  Enjoy!

1 Large Green Pepper

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  In a large bowl, mix together turkey, corn, mayo, cheese, curry powder and seasoning salt.
2.  Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.  Slice loaf of bread in half long ways.  Place two halves onto baking sheet.  Spread turkey salad onto the two halves of bread.  Slice green pepper into thin circles.  Place on top of turkey salad.
