While rummaging through my freezer looking for a protein for dinner, I came across turkey wings and legs I had frozen from the Turkey we had the last time we had turkey which was after Christmas. So, I popped over to this site to see if there were any recipes for leftover turkey. This recipe caught my eye because I had all of the ingredients, although, I omitted the almonds since DH doesn't like them. This recipe is really easy to put together. At the end of the cooking time I ended up broiling it for two minutes to give it some color. It was very flavorful and a perfect way to use up leftover turkey.
