Thank you Kay.

It was a first run. I saw several recipes and played around with the idea. I had to cook the wings so decided to make stock and use it in the recipe. The smoked turkey stock was very nice not to over powering smoke flavor. And the kitties loved the extra turkey.


Next time I think I will add some steamed asparagus tips at the end.

The leftovers were wonderful. The flavor got better overnight.
