What to do with leftover turkey

I have this gift of coming up with recipes in my head. I think the gene came from my father. I can look at the pantry, refrigerator, freezer and spice rack and come up with dinner in a flash. No planning, no formal recipe.
My latest creation came from leftover turkey and leftover chicken Rice a Roni.
Take the whole turkey and trim off the remaining meat for more leftovers! (Turkey sandwiches, turkey burritos, etc..)
I place the turkey in a bath of 32 ounces of fat free, low sodium, no msg chicken broth
Bring the turkey to a boil and then take off the stove. Cool the turkey and pick the rest of the meat off the carcass and toss the bones in the trash.
Putting the turkey meat back into the pot, I add:
1 14 oz can of Italian style chopped tomatoes
1 7 ounce can of mushrooms, including juice
1/2 cup white wine
1 tablespoon minced garlic
dash salt
dash pepper
One sprig fresh rosemary (from my plant!!) scraping the leafs from the spike
And the leftover chicken rice
Stir and put on medium heat and let cook for 20 minutes.
Serves 4
Enjoy!
