There are two certainties post-Thanksgiving or Christmas, you feel a bit dusty and you have plenty of leftover turkey in the fridge. The best way to tackle that festive hangover is with a Turkey Toastie. With very few ingredients and a tiny bit of time you’ll be well on your way to recovery.
Ingredients
Sourdough bread
Saint David Dairy Butter
Leftover turkey
Brie
Cranberry Sauce
Method
Butter one side of two slices of bread. On the non-buttered side pile up plenty of leftover turkey, generous amounts of brie and a great big dollop of cranberry sauce. Season well with salt and pepper and top each sandwich with the remaining slice.
Place a sandwich in a cold skillet and put over a medium heat. You can place a weight on the sandwich to ensure a more even cook and better melting of the cheese. Cook for 3-5 minutes on each side or until sufficiently golden and gnarly.
Serve with some leftover salad, and perhaps a can of coke, because you deserve it.
Naturally, we'd eat anything that's topped with a pillow of mash potato and golden cheese, so in celebration of our money-saving cuts, we're sharing one of our favourite ways of cooking our beef mince, a Classic Cottage Pie! Not only is it also packed with veg, but it warms you from the inside out, providing you with the perfect dinner to come home to after a cold Melbourne winters day.
This is a weeknight version of your go-to takeaway beef stir-fry, minus the unhealthy amounts of oil and lots of added veg! It utilises our stir fry beef, meaning less work for you!
Eleni from My Family's Food Diary has shared a spin on a classic Cypriot dish, Ttava lefkaritiko. It'll fill your kitchen with a sweet and flavoursome aroma. The rice breaks down completely as it soaks up all the spiced juices and the beef becomes super tender to bring you the ultimate comfort food.
