Notes
** If you don't have any leftover turkey meat, you can roast either 2 turkey thighs or one breast in a casserole dish with about an inch of chicken stock in the bottom. Sprinkle the turkey parts liberally with salt and place a pat of butter on top of each piece. Roast the turkey parts in a 350° F oven for 55 minutes or until the juices run clear. Let cool. Remove the skin and shred the meat.
