💡 What's interesting

Culturally, it's a prime example of how leftover holiday turkey (like from Thanksgiving) is creatively repurposed into a satisfying everyday meal. Nutritionally, it's interesting because it can be easily customized—using light mayo, Greek yogurt, or adding fruits like grapes or apples—to shift its profile from a classic comfort food to a lighter, more nutrient-dense option.
