I'll probably cut most of the ingredients in half as the recipe calls
for a 10 - 12 pound bird and I looked at the grocery store and the
turkey breasts seem to run between 6 and 6 1/2 pounds.  I am going to
probably make the full quantity of broth as I can freeze it for use
later.

I had a bit of trouble finding calvados out here in the "boonies", so
am going to try subbing apple schnapps for it.  Hope it'll work.  I'll
let you know.  We'll probably do this on Friday.
