Have you got lots of turkey left over? You don't want to eat turkey sandwiches for the next week? I've got the answer and its really quick to do, and you can freeze it meaning you've a meal there when you're busy with no time to cook.
I've tons of turkey left over and in no time at all have made up 6 portions of turkey curry and 6 portions of turkey and ham pie fillings! That's the Reaney's sorted for some nice meals over the next month!
Turkey curry (serves 4):
Ingredients :
Olive oil
1 chopped onion
1 green & 1 red pepper chopped into chunks
2 tablespoons of curry paste (I used korma paste)
1 teaspoon of crushed garlic that you get in a jar
1 tin chopped tomatoes
2 big handfuls of your leftover turkey diced up
2 big handfuls of boiled or roast potatoes (use up any leftovers)
2tbsp mango chutney
Method
Heat oil and fry the chopped up onion and peppers until soft
Add curry paste and garlic.
Add the tomatoes and 150ml of boiling water and bring to the boil.
Turn down the heat and add in the turkey, potatoes & chutney and heat through.
I served mine with rice and naan bread and froze all the rest in foil dishes.
Turkey, ham and leek pie (serves 4)
Ingredients:
Butter
1 Onion chopped
3 leeks chopped
200ml single cream
200ml chicken stock
2 big handfuls of leftover diced turkey
1 big handful of cooked diced ham
1\2 pack button mushrooms
1 tsp dried tarragon
1\2 tsp dried thyme
Salt & pepper
Method:
Melt butter in a frying pan and fry the onion and leeks until soft.
Add the cream and stock and simmer until the sauce thickens.
Add in the turkey, ham, mushrooms, herbs, salt & pepper and heat through.
I've then frozen the pie mix and when I'm ready to have it I'll just add some puff pastry to the top, brush with an egg and cook for approx 40 mins.
Enjoy!
