Delicious Ways to Use Leftover Chicken and Turkey

One of the best ways I find to stretch the food budget is to work with leftover meat, especially from a roasted turkey or chicken. Taking that leftover meat and incorporating it into soups, chowders, sandwich fillings, casseroles, etc. means more servings can be gotten from it than would simply plating the cold meat.
