This recipe for Turkey and Brussels Bubble and Squeak Cakes not only uses up leftover turkey, but also any potatoes and brussel sprouts!

Perfect for Boxing Day breakfast 🍳

Recipe:

* 1kg floury potatoes, peeled, washed and cut into chunks
* 60g butter
* 200g Brussels sprouts, trimmed
* 1 small onion, peeled and very finely diced
* 300g cooked Godwick Free Range Turkey skinned and chopped
* 50g plain flour, seasoned with salt and pepper
* Rapeseed oil, for frying
* Sea salt and black pepper
* A little freshly grated nutmeg
* 4 eggs, poached
* Rocket, to serve

Boil the potatoes in salted water for 15 minutes until tender, drain, add half of the butter and mash well. Meanwhile cook the sprouts for 5 minutes until just tender, drain, cool and shake dry and shred finely.

Heat the remaining butter in a frying pan and fry the onion until just soft, cool slightly and add to the mashed potato.

Mix the sprouts with the turkey, potato and cooked onion and season to taste. Leave until cool enough to handle then shape into 8 cakes.

Tip the flour onto a plate, coat the cakes, and gently tap off the excess flour.

Heat a large frying pan and shallow fry the cake in rapeseed oil, do this in batches for 4 minutes each side, turning carefully.

Drain on kitchen paper and transfer to a baking sheet lined with greaseproof paper.
Serve with a little rocket and poached eggs.

It’s only 8 weeks until Christmas! 🎄

And, according to the download stats, Mariah has already defrosted! So, it must be time to get your turkey ordered! 🦃

As well as the Norfolk Black, we also rear heritage-breed Norfolk Bronze turkeys. These birds have a more mellow, succulent taste, with a broader breast that gives more white breast meat than its cousin.

You might be thinking: if I buy a beautiful, big, golden turkey for Christmas dinner, what will I do with the leftovers?

Well, how about making Herby Golden Turkey and Cranberry Sausage Rolls for your Boxing Day spread?

Recipe:

* 375g pack of ready rolled puff pastry
* Plain flour, for dusting
* 30g butter
* 1 small onion, peeled and diced
* 300g leftover Golden turkey meat, cut into 1cm dice
* 200g sausage meat or leftover stuffing8 fresh sage leaves, finely chopped
* 75g cranberry sauce (drained of any liquid)
* 1/8th tsp ground nutmeg
* Sea salt and black pepper
* 1 medium egg, lightly beaten

Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas 6. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

Unroll the pastry, place on a lightly floured work surface and cut in half lengthways.

Melt the butter in a small frying pan; add the onion and fry until soft. Cool slightly.

Place the turkey and sausage meat (or stuffing) in a bowl. Add the cooled onion, sage, cranberry sauce, nutmeg, a pinch of salt and a good grinding of black pepper. Mix together with a wooden spoon or your hands until well combined.

Shape the mixture into two long sausages the same length as the sheets of pastry. Lay one sausage down the centre of each piece of pastry. Brush the edges with some of the beaten egg then fold the pastry over the filling, and press the edges together firmly. Mark the edge of the pastry with the tines of a fork; this makes sure the sausage rolls are well sealed. Neatly cut, using a sharp knife, into even sized portions of 5cm in length for larger rolls or 2.5cm lengths for smaller rolls.

Place the sausage rolls on the prepared trays and brush with the remaining beaten egg. Bake in the oven for approximately 15 minutes until puffed up and deliciously browned.

Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes.
