really really good! I did add some fish sauce to taste and chinese style noodles instead of rice, and a bit of red pepper flakes. And I didn't do it in a crockpot, but will in the future because I love using my crockpot. I just couldn't face another everyday type turkey noodle soup or turkey rice soup and this changes it up a little.
