Instructions

Step 1

Heat the butter in a large saucepan until just sizzling. Add the shallots, bacon and garlic and cook gently for 4-5 minutes, until the shallots are soft and the bacon is golden. Sprinkle over the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes then slowly add the stock, whisking continuously to avoid any lumps forming. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce has thickened. Whisk in the crème fraîche and chopped herbs. Season to taste and then add the leftover turkey, sausage and vegetables. Stir well and transfer to a baking dish (about 30cm x 20cm). See ‘Get ahead’ tip at the top of this recipe.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 200°C, fan 180°C, gas 6. Mix all of the crumble ingredients together and scatter over the filling. Drizzle the oil over the topping, then bake on a tray in the oven for 30 minutes or until the crumble topping is crisp and golden. Leave to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
