** To save time I use a pre-cooked turkey breast, I buy mine at Costco. Also I use “Better than Bouillon” Roasted Turkey Base. It’s way easier than making your own broth. 1 teaspoon of bouillon for 8 ounces of boiling water, so it’s easy to convert to however big a batch you are making. I have found “Better than Bouillon” at Safeway.
