  1. Lightly brown the chopped cooked chicken or turkey in butter or margarine in a large skillet over medium heat.

  4. Remove from heat and allow the chicken-vegetable mixture to cool slightly.
  5. Transfer the mixture to a bowl, straining out any excess liquid from the bottom of the pan.
  6. Whisk the six eggs in a separate large bowl until smooth.
  7. Stir the chicken-vegetable mixture into the beaten eggs, adding salt to taste and mixing thoroughly to combine.
  8. Heat about 1/2 inch of fat in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.
  9. Pour 1/4 cup of the egg mixture into the hot fat for each serving.
  10. Flatten each egg mixture into a cake about 1/2 inch thick using a spatula.
