Just add a heap of veggies et voila - a great Christmas leftover idea for your Boxing Day dinner with the family!

Ingredients

Serves 6

• Glug of olive oil

• Knob of butter

• 1 large onion, halved and sliced

• 6 sausages or 8 chipolatas (leftover pigs in blanket also good)

• 2 tsp English mustard powder

• 50g plain flour

• 1 chicken stock cube, crumbled

• 150ml white wine 500ml chicken stock or leftover gravy

• 6 stuffing balls

• 300g cooked turkey, shredded

• 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard

• 100g low-fat crème fraiche

• Small bunch parsley, chopped

• 800g leftover roasted potatoes

• 20g mature cheddar, grated

Method

Firstly, grab your leftovers: sausages, stuffing, turkey and roasties and cut / break them into bite size pieces. Keep to one side…trying not to snack your way through all the ingredients!

Make the ‘sauce’ by heating the oil and butter and cooking the onion in it for 10 mins or so until it’s soft. Push to one side of the pan or whip the onion out, and then stir the mustard powder, flour and stock cube into the remaining oil / butter for a couple of minutes before adding the white wine. Let it bubble for a min, and then add your 500ml of stock or leftover gravy, stirring for 5 minutes to keep it smooth, and finally season.

Place the sausages, stuffing and turkey into the sauce, stir through the crème fraiche and a dollop of wholegrain mustard, sprinkle the parsley and then crumble the potatoes and grated cheese on top.

Place in a preheated oven, 200C for 40 minutes or so, until bubbling.
