Happy New Year everyone!!! I trust you all had a great Christmas with loved ones, friends & family; great food and lots of lovely presents :-)

Sorry for not posting anything since Christmas – Sandra came down with a touch of flu, whilst I’ve just been too darn lazy (hey, there are all these drinking and eating to do. Someone’s gotta do them … hee hee).

Anyway, His lordship and I had decided that we were not going to cook a whole turkey for Christmas dinner, seeing that it’s going to be just the two of us this year. However, I happened to be down Surrey Street Market late on Christmas Eve, and the local butcher was slashing the price of fresh turkeys – £18 for a 7kg turkey. WHAT A BARGAIN!!!! I simply HAD to buy it…..

We had a wonderful Christmas dinner – Roast turkey (stuffed with apples, apricots, oranges, onions, fresh sage, fennel seeds, breadcrumbs), roast parsnips, carrots and potatoes, cranberry sauce, steamed brussel sprouts with garlic butter, sugar-snaps peas …….. YUMMY!!!!

How much of the turkey did we eat? I had three large slices of the breast meat and his lordship had two large slices and a wing……HA HA HA HA HA!!! We’ve decided to chop up the 7kg turkey into smaller pieces and freeze them in smaller portions, ready for when we need some turkey.

Meanwhile, there were loads of little bits of turkey strips, and even more stuffings left over!!! So, three eggs, a cup of self-raising flour and a cup of milk later ….. TADA!!!! A turkey & stuffings meatloaf/quiche thingey!

ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS !!!

Leftovers Turkey Loaf
There’s really nothing to it for this recipe. The main ingredients are:

  • Leftover turkey
  • Leftover stuffings
  • Eggs
  • Self-raising flour
  • Milk
  • Season to taste

Just mix everything up!!! It’s that simple.

The ratio/portions for the various ingredients are approximately 1cup milk to 1cup self-raising flour to 3 eggs to 5 cups meat/stuffings. What you want to try to get is a sloppy mixture. If it’s too watery, just add a little more flour – and vice-versa. But remember, if your stuffings contains breadcrumbs, use a little less flour as the breadcrumbs will later swell up too.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F/Gas 4) and bake for 40-45 minutes (or till evenly browned and cooked).

**Makes great starters too – Serve it hot and in smaller portions as starters, with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.
