Is there anything better than Christmas leftovers?! Teamed with some epic flavours and given a bit of love, you can transform what’s left over into meals so tasty, they might just rival The Big Day itself.
Turkey sloppy Joe’s
Ingredients
- 200g leftover cooked turkey meat
- 200ml leftover turkey gravy
- 1 carrot
- 1 apple
- ½ a red onion
- 2 sprigs of fresh mint
- 2 gherkins
- 1 fresh red chili
- 4 seeded wholemeal buns
Method
- Shred and pull apart your leftover turkey meat and place in a small pan with a splash of water and 4 tablespoons of gravy. Pop a lid on and place on the lowest heat for 10 minutes to warm through.
- Warm the rest of the gravy in a separate pan, ready to use it for dunking later.
- Meanwhile, peel and finely shred the carrot, matchstick the apple, peel and finely slice the red onion, and pick and slice the mint leaves. Place it all in a bowl with 1 tablespoon of pickling liquid from your gherkin jar.
- Finely slice the gherkins, using a crinkle-cut knife if you’ve got one, and the chili. Add to the bowl, mix well, lightly season and put aside.
- Mix all the BBQ sauce ingredients together.
- Split and toast your buns, then spread the BBQ sauce inside them, top and bottom. Pile your turkey on the bun bases, drizzle with a little gravy and top with some tasty slaw. Pop the bun lids on, and you’re away.
- Serve the rest of the gravy on the side for a naughty dunk, along with any leftover slaw.
