What to do with all those leftovers? After you've snacked on the cold roast vegetables, turkey and stuffing and there's still some left over, I like turkey on buttered sourdough bread grilled with mustard and cheddar. Alternatively, try this lovely salad.

Ingredients

  • 400g leftover roast turkey

  • 4 tbsp flaked almonds, toasted

  • 2 spring onions, thinly sliced (white and light-green part only)

  • 2 tbsp mint leaves, torn

  • ½ tsp grated orange zest

  • 3 tbsp olive oil

  • 2 tbsp white wine vinegar

  • 1 tbsp mayonnaise (optional - it gives the dressing a little richness)

  • salt and pepper

Method

  1. Slice the turkey and combine with the almonds, spring onions, mint and zest. Make a dressing with the oil, vinegar, mayonnaise, salt and pepper. Pour over the salad and toss to combine.

    Serve as a salad or pile on slices of fresh, buttered bread.
