Transform Christmas leftovers into a festive treat with turkey and cranberry-filled lettuce cups, perfect for a quick and tasty Boxing Day lunch.
Ingredients:
  • 2 fresh bay leaves
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 56.88 gm extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1/2 x 320g loaf ciabatta, torn into 2cm pieces
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 20.00 ml lemon zest
  • 82.50 ml pine nuts
  • 8 thin slices prosciutto, cut into thirds
  • 3 sprigs fresh oregano
  • 2 baby gem lettuces, leaves separated
  • Leftover roast turkey (see notes)
  • 250g green beans, halved diagonally, steamed, to serve
  • 500.00 ml frozen cranberries
  • 107.50 gm caster sugar
  • 62.50 ml port
  • 2 x 5cm long strips orange rind
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 220C/200C fan-forced and prepare 2 large baking trays with baking paper.
  • In a large bowl, mix together oil and garlic, and season with salt and pepper. Add bread, onion, lemon zest, pine nuts, prosciutto, and oregano. Toss everything together until well combined. Spread the mixture onto prepared trays and bake for 15 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking, until the bread is golden and crisp.
  • Prepare the Cranberry and Port Sauce by combining cranberries, sugar, port, orange rind, cinnamon, bay leaves, and 1/2 cup water in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir and cook for 4 minutes until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium-high and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for 6 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  • Layer lettuce, turkey slices, crunchy stuffing, and beans on a serving board or platter. Finish with a drizzle of Cranberry and Port Sauce before serving.
