Polish Hunter's Stew image

This dish has traditionally been used as way to use leftover roasts at the end of a holiday period and the above meats and poultry are only a suggestion. Literally any meats, fowl or game may be used and the dish is better when reheated. Turkey leftover from Thanksgiving would be a good use of this recipe.
