Post Christmas Turkey Stroganoff

Serves 4

This is a great dish to serve up on St Stephen’s Day, using that lovely left over turkey and introducing some very non-Christmas flavours. Guaranteed to be devoured by all the family and you won’t hear anyone moaning that its ‘Turkey again’. In fact this is so good, you might want to make it all year round, in that case try using left over chicken instead.

Ingredients
700 g / 1 ½ lb turkey breast cut into chunks                    
1 tablespoon oil
1 large onion, diced
150 ml / ¼ pint dry white wine
5 scallions, sliced
250 ml / ½ pint double cream
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon chopped herbs e.g. parsley, basil and mint
300 g / 12 oz basmati and wild rice

Method
Heat the oil in a large heavy bottomed pan and add the onion. Sweat for 3-4 minutes or until onion softens. Pour in the wine and cook until the liquid has reduced by half. Now add the turkey, scallions, cream, mustard and cook for 5 minutes. Season to taste.

Meanwhile, cook the rice according to the packet instructions and drain it. Keep warm until ready to serve.

To Serve
Spoon the rice into a bowl and pile on the Stroganoff. Sprinkle with the herbs and you’re all set to sing along to the repeat of ‘The Sound of Music’!

Tips
This dish can be made with uncooked turkey, Just add the meat to the dish after the onions have softened and leave for an extra 5 minutes or until turkey cooked before adding the wine.
