If you still have half a turkey in your fridge, this is your sign to do something with it. We all know the feeling: you've had a delicious Christmas dinner, several turkey sandwiches, and maybe even a few plates of cold meat, chips and pickles, but you've still got so much meat left to use up. It seems like the most popular way to get rid of leftover turkey is to throw it into a curry, and while this is delicious, it can get a bit boring if you do it every year.
So if you feel like mixing things up this year, why not try something different? A post on Reddit calling for inspiration on what to do with leftover turkey garnered multiple replies from people recommending tasty dishes like tacos, pies, and even salads. But one of the most popular recommendations was the humble stew.
And if stew sounds like exactly what you're after during this post-Christmas slump, then there's even more good news - Jamie Oliver has the perfect recipe for leftover stew with homemade dumplings - and it takes just over an hour to make. The recipe is included in Jamie's Christmas Cookbook, as he said of the scrumptious offering: "This is a super-easy, old-school dish that uses leftover turkey or chicken in a brilliant way. As a kid, I made it with dumplings, but when I was in the US, they would top stews with these lovely biscuits, so this is my hybrid of the two.".
For the dumplings:. For the stew:. To begin, the culinary mastermind chops up bacon and adds it into a pan on medium heat, before finely slicing the leaks. Cook it for 15 minutes or until the leaks are "soft and sweet", then remove from the pan and leave to cool.
