Leftover Turkey Recipes, Day 3: Entrees

I've tried to select recipes that are relatively straightforward and easy; after putting substantial effort into a holiday dinner, I'm thinking you don't want to get too elaborate with the leftovers.

Preparation:

- In center of each tortilla, arrange first four ingredients in layers
