Turkey Pies with Stuffing Cobbler

The debate on what to do with the remains of the Christmas turkey leftovers is almost a national joke, so here is one more suggestion of a meal to make a few days after Christmas to use up some more leftovers – scraps of turkey and the last of the gravy, bread & cranberry sauce, stuffing, sausages, bacon and roasted vegetables.

I think that it is the trimmings which make Christmas dinner and the meals in the days which follow, and my mother always makes lots extra as they are so delicious; intentional leftovers and part of the meal plan.    In an ideal world you would strip all the meat from the turkey on Boxing Day and put the carcass in the slow cooker overnight to make stock.  In reality we leave the turkey in the unheated (and thus refrigerated) garden room for a good few days longer.

When you make the sauce add in any left over gravy and bread sauce, if you have not got round to making stock from your turkey carcass then use ready made stock – I used a Knorr chicken stock pot here (if you only need to use half a pot then the leftover will freeze).   Use your judgement and use less flour if you are using up bread sauce.

    Great idea. Also, I love that you made a cobbler. I was mocked in my first job when I mentioned a peach cobbler – they insisted I was lying and that such things don’t exist. 9 years later and I see them crop up quite a lot.
    I do love proper dumplings but I think this sounds nice enough to stop me from complaining :)
