Wow what a great why to use leftovers. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful recipe. I had company drop by yesterday just as these were coming out of the oven and everyone really enjoyed them and wanted the recipe. The rosemary was great and I loved the crunch of the almonds. Thanks again

This was just as I imagined it, we were not disappointed! This will now become standard fare for turkey leftovers, and my hubby is even talking about using chicken when we don't have turkey. Easy and sooo tasty.
