I am making this Teriyaki Turkey rice bowl and it is asking for grounded turkey but all I have is smoked turkey from leftover Thanksgiving what to do?
All I have is smoked turkey from Thanksgiving. I am asking if I can use smoked instead of ground and what are the key differences

The most reasonable approach would be to buy ground turkey (it's really cheap) and faithfully follow the recipe at least the first time around.
You can freeze your leftover smoked Thanksgiving turkey for a future project.
I'm not sure what recipe you have, but I'd guess the biggest difference will in texture between ground turkey and oven roasted turkey, and the smoky taste from your leftovers. I'm going to assume you cook the ground turkey in some sort of teriyaki sauce? If that's the case just warm your leftover turkey in the teriyaki, and since your turkey is already cooked it should be easier to do things to taste. Good luck!
