Turkey bhajis
Cooked, sliced turkey adds a neat twist to this turkey bhaji recipe from Marcello Tully, and would of course make a fantastic Christmas leftover dish. These fritters would also be great as a starter or as a tasty party snack, if you double the recipe. Serve with sweet tamarind sauce or minted yoghurt.
