Turkey Shtew

The secret to this SHTEW is Sherry, and plenty of it. It adds a nice, sweet depth to the dish and rounds out the flavors of thyme and pepper and turkey, for a nice, hearty meal.
The other secret is to make this using your own broth, made from boiling the XMAS or Thanksigiving turkey carcus for a few hours and then discarding the bones. Let the broth chill, then skim off the fat, and reheat when ready to use.
Thicken or jazz-up this SHTEW with whatever leftovers youhave on hand, from potatoes to stuffing to roasted veggies...whatever.
Oh, and enjoy with healthy dollops of cranberry sauce!
