What kind of turkey should I use?

Stick to whole muscle turkey (not deli meat) from either the breast or dark meat. If you are working on adding more fats into your diet, opt for the dark meat. Ideally, use turkey leftovers for this dish because the odds and end pieces are perfect for dicing up and toss into a hash.

What kind of cheese can I use other than feta?

If feta cheese is not your favorite, you can use other cheeses like shredded pepper jack, cheddar, or mozzarella cheeses, which will melt nicely into the nooks and crannies. Place the shredded cheese on top of the final dish.
