Turkey with bacon, cream, parsley and peas (Serves 4)
It was Thanksgiving yesterday so here’s a great recipe for any Americans readers – perfect for using up the leftover turkey! And for us Brits, here’s your Christmas tip a month early. This really is a cracking combination. Try not to forego the fresh parsley as it really freshens the dish up.
Ingredients
- 522g of British turkey breast steaks and pieces (£3.29)
- 10 pack of streaky smoked bacon (£1.28)
- 150ml of British double cream (60p)
- 1 medium red onion (10p)
- 25g of flat leaf parsley (50p)
The cupboard staples…
Olive oil, black pepper, 2 cloves of garlic, 1 chicken stock cube, frozen peas and rice (or pasta).
Total cost
If you already have the cupboard staples, then according to mysupermarket.co.uk, this trolley was cheapest at ASDA where it came to £5.77 - that's £1.44 per head!
Instructions
- Start by prepping up your ingredients first. It’s quite a quick dish to cook. It’s best served with rice, so you can get on now as well (or pasta if you prefer).
- For the prep; finely slice the turkey, bacon and onions and roughly chop the garlic and parsley.
- Get a good thick bottomed pan on the heat, add a glug of olive oil and add the turkey and bacon. Fry until nice and browned all over. Now add the onions and garlic and fry for a further 2 minutes until the onion has softened.
- Next up (keep on a medium heat), add a cup of chicken stock and 250g of peas. Cook for a couple of minutes so the liquid had reduced down a little and the peas cook. Now season with black pepper only (no salt is required as this comes from the bacon and chicken stock) and pour in 150ml of double cream.
- Reduce down for a further 2-3 minutes and add the fresh parsley.
- Happy eating!
