Spice up your left over turkey to a new dish which is very flavorful and can be served as an appetizer or snack. Fresh green onions and finely chopped celery adds a very nice aroma and taste to these cutlets. I used finely chopped smoked turkey but you can use any form of turkey even ground turkey. If using ground turkey brown your turkey first before mixing all ingredients.
