This leftover turkey and rice dish is my go-to, post-Christmas meal
It’s estimated by the government waste scheme Wrap that we waste two million turkeys each Christmas. Most of that is likely to be meat left on the carcasses, which, if repurposed, could easily be used in all manner of lazy meals and snacks – perfect reserves to get us through the post-Christmas slump, after all that hard graft, hosting and booze.
In my household, turkey pilaf is our go-to, after-Christmas dish. It works well with just a few morsels of meat, especially when you use the bones to make a flavourful stock to cook the rice in, and when you can incorporate leftover vegetables into it, too. It’s a quick and tasty wintry treat.
