I got the bird all sliced &amp; packaged in &quot;to-go&quot; containers for my guests to take home with them. I then strained &amp; made the stock &amp; chilled it. Took off most of the fat...not all, &amp; then proceeded with your instructions to finish it just as the BIG turkey was coming out of the oven. Ta-Da! It was WONDERFUL!! <br /><br />Thank you SO much for telling us about this method, Susan.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />RettRettabughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09974677657528087286[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4559496255453564057.post-72714360950711407752010-11-21T07:42:14.622-06:002010-11-21T07:42:14.622-06:00Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!
