Start by cooking a turkey slowly for about 10 hours in a large roasting pan.

Debone the cooked turkey, ensuring there are no bones left in the meat.

Pour the turkey broth through a sieve to remove any bones or impurities.

Prepare the rafi pie mix by placing it in a large bowl.

Cut bacon into small bite-sized pieces.

Melt margarine or butter in the roasting pan while waiting for the broth and kettle to boil.

Add 2 cups of cold water to the rafi pie mix and mix well.

Gradually add 24 to 28 cups of boiling broth and water, alternating between the two.

Add bite-sized pieces of chicken or turkey to the bowl with the potatoes and cold water.

Stir the mixture to combine all ingredients thoroughly.

Add 5 cups of the turkey broth to the mixture and stir again.

Add the remaining turkey meat to the bowl, ensuring it's in bite-sized pieces.

Add 5 cups of boiling water to the mixture, stirring to combine.

If necessary, use additional boiling water to reach the total of 24 to 28 cups of liquid needed for the recipe.
