One dish meals don't get any easier than this. Leftover turkey gets mixed with mushrooms, peppers, potatoes, onions and gravy in this quick and easy recipe.

Sometimes leftover turkey recipes can turn an otherwise super healthy food -- turkey -- into a high-fat, high-calorie feast.

Not this one.

This turkey hash is not only low calorie, it's packed with protein and Vitamin C. And if you want to boost the fiber content, you can keep the skins on the potatoes. Serve with a simple carrot raisin salad or broccoli salad and dark chocolate brownies for dessert.
