Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200C/Gas 6/fan oven 180C. Mix the turkey, ham and frozen peas in a buttered ovenproof dish.
  2. To make the sauce, put the butter, flour and milk in a saucepan and bring to the boil, whisking all the time, until the sauce is thickened and smooth. Stir in the sherry and mustard, season to taste and simmer for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in half the cheese.
  3. To finish the dish, pour the sauce over the ingredients in the dish. Mix the remaining cheese with the nuts and sprinkle on top. At this point, you can keep the bake in the fridge up to 5 hours, or freeze it. When ready, bake for 25-35 minutes until the topping is golden and the sauce is bubbling.

    This was a real winner for a boxing day lunch - we made one as per recipe and one more child friendly/ fussy eater one minus mustard.

    I followed the recipe, but left out the nuts. We enjoyed this dish -the mustard and sherry flavours were quite subtle did not overpower the turkey and ham.

    I ended buying turkey breast without any idea what to do with it. I tried this recipe and it turned out a hit with my family though I made some adjustments like using white wine instead of sherry, using an onion/leek with the turkey and a garlic with the sauce. I served it with boiled rice. Fantastic flavours!!

    I am so glad to have found this recipe again. I made it for my husbad years ago on Boxing Day and served it with warmed up left over red cabbage. We ate it sat in front of the telly and it tasted better than the Christmas dinner we had slaved over for everyone the day before. Good memories.

    Fabulous recipe - I made it after Christmas. Didn't add the sherry but don't think that mattered. Will definitely do again it was delicious.

    I liked this recipe a lot, particularly the lovely nutty topping. I halved everything for 2 people and added a little garlic into the sauce and used marsala wine instead of sherry and it was scrummy. I'd be tempted to add a little more marsala and mustard next time just to add more flavour though.

    This was tasty and a useful way to use up leftovers, but there was no hiding the fact that it was leftovers. Doesn't compare with a freshly-cooked meal, which I suppose would be too much to expect.

    Great use of leftovers. Substituted pine nuts and old pistacchios for the nuts used in the recipe.

    I used cornflour for a gluten free dish and omitted the nuts for nut allergy sufferers. This was an extremely quick and tasty dish. I enjoyed it almost more than Xmas dinner as the work load was so much less. Second helpings were the order of the day.

    Absolutely Yummy! I made this after Christmas without the nuts and then froze it. We ate this with pasta, which the creamy sauce coated beautifully.
