I cooked this for well over the recommended time. 3-4 hours in a casserole dish on the hob. My Veggies were New potatoes, Leeks, Celery, Apple, mustard, honey & White wine. Served with steamed Cabbage & Broccoli. Extremely delicious flavours !!

For the first year ever - we had turkey for Christmas, (we're pensioners and only chose turkey as one of our dinner guests was adamant that that was the only way to go ..) . We were left with much more "leftover" meat than we had experienced with any other Christmas meal - not because it was bad in any way! This recipe, (modified to suit our tastes .. added wine - drastically reduced the honey; added more fresh veg- cooked for longer - over two days ..), used up *all* our leftovers in a delicious way - we would happily recommend it to others.

Not the best casserole ever but a great way to use up leftovers, especially if you can make a little more than you need as leftover of this can then be blitzed into a soup with extra stock added

On Boxing day I made the base sauce (step 1) exactly to the recipe, we usually love honey and mustard flavours. Before adding anything else I tasted the sauce, asked my OH to taste as well, we both pulled a face so I threw it out and made a turkey pie instead!

Have used this recipe to use up my chicken from the Lemon Thyme Butter Basted Chicken recipe here. Works extremely well with this. Replaced sage with thyme, took out the apple and added a dash of lemon juice but otherwise followed the recipe. Super quick and easy to do

Very easy one you can knock together after work one night. I added left over stuffing as one person suggested and was really pleased with the result.
