Made the basic recipe (didn't use the almonds though or any of the options)- my family LOVED this! My local market always has turkey legs on sale- and I always buy them to make broth. This will be the new standard for all the leftover meat. My husband and boys thank you. Maybe if I'm really cool I'll try the sea shell thing. ; )
