Turkey Fajitas

This is a great recipe to try if you have leftover turkey breast. I recently cooked a turkey breast in my crock pot and froze the leftovers. This dish came together super quick with already having the cooked turkey. Rather than marinating the meat as the recipe suggests, I just added a splash of lime juice and soy sauce to the onion/pepper mixture and threw in the turkey to get hot. I then added some lime juice to sour cream for an added kick. Yum!
