Christmas is coming and for most people that means one thing – turkey!

But what are we to do with the leftover turkey after Christmas Day? A human can only eat so many turkey sandwiches before turkey-fatigue starts to set in.

So that’s where you come in – we’re looking for your favourite turkey recipes. Do you have a great recipe for turkey curry? Turkey casserole? A turkey risotto?

Whatever the recipe, we want to hear about it – just leave a link in the Linky at the end of this post.

And to kick it off, here’s our family’s favourite way of using up leftover turkey after Christmas – leftover Turkey Pie.

Leftover Turkey Pie Recipe

Ingredients: 

• 500g leftover turkey, cut roughly into chunks (remove any tough bits at this stage)
• 500g shortcrust pastry
• 2 tbsp sunflower oil
• 1 onion
• 1 large carrot
• 2 leeks
• 300ml chicken stock
• Cornflour
• 1 tsp dried parsley
• 1/2 tsp dried oregano
• Salt and pepper to taste

Method: 

• First, pre-heat the oven to 200 degrees celcius, or Gas Mark 6
• Next, fry the onion, carrot and leek in a large pan until they’re softened. Pour in the chicken stock, herbs and seasoning.
• Add cooked turkey to the pan, mix cornflour with water and use to thicken the stock, as needed.
• Let the mixture cool.
• Roll out half the pastry and place in an oven proof dish. Top with the turkey mixture and use the second half of the pastry to cover.
• Pinch and crimp the edges of the pastry to seal the pie.
• Cook for 30-40 minutes until the top of the pie is golden brown.
