Method

Leftover turkey and orange salad

1.In a pan, heat the oil and gently warm the turkey and any vegetables and gravy you have left over. If you only have turkey, that’s fine, but add ¼ cup liquid – such as orange juice, white wine or water, so the turkey heats as this simmers.

2.Add the orange segments to the pan and cook until they are warmed through.

3.Spread the salad greens on a large plate and spoon the turkey and orange over. Sprinkle with the parsley and drizzle with the green dressing (below). Serve immediately.
