    Ring any bells?
    Turkey and vegetable pie
    After we've finished our xmas dinner, I strip the turkey and mix with the left over vegetables. I usually have some left over pastry from the sausage rolls, so i roll out a lid, for the top of a casserole bowl. Then I make up some white sauce (or buy a jar) and stir it through the turkey and veg.
    Finally, I bake it in the oven at gas mark 4 for 30-40 minutes.
    If I don't want turkey again, once it's cold, I double wrap it and freeze it for another time. It takes about 10 minutes to prepare and is delicious!


    They list some of them here

    I found it!!! 😊

    "Foil roasting tins!! My husband is a great cook and always makes the Christmas dinner...but he isn’t half messy! Disposable roasting tins means that he can use as many as he likes but we don't have the clearing/washing up at the end!!"

    Had a feeling it was nothing to do with me cooking!! 😂😂😂
