I also make this with leftover turkey from holiday meals. Just brown the meat lightly and the sauce will give it a wonderful flavor.—Patricia D Kile, Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania.

1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/8 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon pepper

Cutting Green Onions

I recently tried a recipe that called for 3/4 cup green onions. Instead of using a knife, I found that snipping the onions with a pair of kitchen scissors took only a few seconds. —Kristy B., Kelowna, British Columbia
