Turkey Ragu

behind the scenes

Turning Leftovers Into Turkey Ragu

We all love Christmas dinner. We plan for it for weeks, spend hours cooking it and then devour it in 20 minutes, max! It would hardly seem worth it, except for the fact that we then have leftovers!

Now, don’t get us wrong, we LOVE a turkey sandwich as much as the next person, and our Jolly Festive Ultimate Turkey Pie is the thing dreams are made of (trust us!).

But, sometimes we want to change our flavour palate up a little, especially when we’re eating turkey for the fifth day in a row.

So, enter this Turkey Ragu.

With the addition of sweet potato and butternut squash, it is not only a substantial one pot meal (erm, yes please!!) but it’s also in keeping with seasonal produce and ensures that the end result is a rich and warming bowl of comfort food.

Plus, most of the time here is spent with the pot simmering on the stove which means you can put your feet and up and read that new book you got for Christmas, or try out that new game with your household, while safely in the knowledge that you have a delicious and wholesome meal just bubbling away!

We love to serve this Turkey Ragu with some crusty bread to soak up all that rich sauce, but it would be just as delicious over mashed potato, with rice or even with a nice winter salad alongside; it really is very versatile!

So, if you’re looking for something a little different this year that requires minimum effort but delivers maximum flavour, then give this Turkey Ragu a try – you might even end up cooking an extra turkey just to have an excuse to make another serving!
