Recipe: Leftover Turkey Coleslaw with Tahini & Cranberry Sauce Dressing

Turkey Cranberry Tahini ColeslawI love a good ‘slaw (Ed hates and detests calling coleslaw ‘slaw). The right mix of vegetables and dressing can be a delight – crunchy vegetables, delicious dressing; but it is very easy to get the balance wrong – greasy and acidic dressings and bitter boring vegetables are horrible.

For my post Christmas coleslaw I used a mixture of sweet carrot, peppery turnip and crunchy, colourful purple sprouts, as well as the last of the turkey (from the freezer) and the homemade cranberry sauce.    It is a very attractive mix of colours, and using a serving ring to present the coleslaw makes for a far more impressive dish and ticks the box of Fuss Free effort to glory ratio.

Once grated vegetables seem to expand somewhat so you will need rather less than you might think.

    So simple yet so delicious looking, I still have one good dollop of cranberry sauce left that I need to use up and I think a variation of this depending on what else is in the fridge will make a good lunch this weekend :)

    This looks very interesting Helen. I don’t have any turkey left, but I will try it without tomorrow – just the kind of thing I feel like eating at the moment.

    My other half also hates the word ‘slaw’! It looks lovely and a great healthy way to start the new year.

      I do say ‘slaw occasionally to tease!

    I like the sound of this, Helen. Coleslaw from the supermarket is often pretty gruesome but the home made stuff can be fantastic

      Thank you Jane. You can also add far more interesting veggies to the mix at home.
