Ooooh sounds great. My fav is the wife makes turkey noodle soup with the carcass and left over meat scraps, love smoked turkey! Gotta try the pie now, thanks!

I made a big ol pot of grits seasoned up nicely with Ol Bay, salt, black pepper, cayenne, essence, some parsley for a bit of color and some diced/chopped cajun smoked turkey. Added about WHOLE stick of REAL butter in the mix as well... Grits without REAL butter makes about as much sense as wipin your butt before you poop... Just ain't good nor smart. Grits are the cats meow down here.
