Turkey Crumble

[ethandron]

Is what we’re having this evening.
The turkey is the frozen leftovers from Christmas, with softened leeks and mushrooms added, and stock, cream and seasoning. Topped with savoury crumble, also frozen leftovers from Christmas. Served with a mix of vegetable oven roasted chips...carrots, parsnips and swede.
As we have visitors it’s been a very easy meal to make. And has made lots of room in the freezer.
Preceded by prawn cocktail as a special request. And followed by brioche bread and butter pud.
Anyone else got stuff still in the freezer from Christmas?

Sounds an absolutely splendid meal. I had baked potato with spinach and sardines - just not in your league ;-(

Apologies, did not mean to be so rude, but I was thinking along lines of Apple crumble and it being sweet.

[ethandron]

Oh Sharon, you weren’t being rude, I was just curious as to why you thought it sounded so revolting...takes a lot to rattle me these days :)

My meal tonight was smokey, pan fried aubergine, feta cheese, crispy pancetta, cherry tomatoes and broccoli rice with olive oil and lemon salt. Odd, but tasty.

[pastafreak]

By the way...the crumble sounds nice. But I hate turkey so I'd do it with chicken.

[Neveracrossword]

Ethandron, I don't think your crumble is revolting, but I wouldn't like it! I don't like turkey, leeks or mushrooms and I don't fancy the crumble topping.

[ethandron]

There’s so much tasty creamy sauce you can’t tell what meat it is to be honest. The crumble topping is really crunchy and tasty, the addition of all the nuts makes such a difference, and the hot paprika gives it a real kick. We’ve all smacked our lips over it :)

[Rockrose]

I think I will keep your crumble in the back of my brain for the next time we have turkey xx

[Neveracrossword]

Ethandron, I might - just might - be tempted to try it if it was a pie (with any kind of pastry, I'm not fussy), rather than the crumble. Savoury crumble is like savoury ice-cream to me, something I can happily live without!

[ethandron]

I made chilli ice cream a couple of Christmas’s ago, to have with scallops and other fishy bits. Sounds all wrong doesn’t it? But..it was lovely. If you don’t try these things then you’ll never know what you might be missing out on.

[Neveracrossword]

I've tried a couple of savoury ice-creams, Ethandron, so I know I don't like them. One was chilli, which wasn't spicy enough, the other involved basil - because of the colour, I kept wanting to taste pistachio or mint!

[Tilly2]

I am going to try a savoury crumble on top of a shepherd's pie, rather than using mashed potato.

[ethandron]

Ooh, that’s a good idea Tilly, bet it’s a really nice combination of flavours and textures.

[Rockrose]

Was that my chilli ice cream eth? Sancha made it after I mentioned it, and was somewhat surprised

[237SJ]

I like a decent topping on a pie though. Maybe a savoury crumble on top of mashed potato or a mashed potato mix would be good

[ethandron]

Must have been Rosie, Sancha gave me the recipe so she must have got it from you.

[ethandron]

Well let’s go the whole hog sj...sliced potatoes with mash on top followed by savoury crumble then a layer of grated cheese with crunched up crisps squashed over the top. Actually I quite fancy that..

[Tilly2]

...bit of a carbohydrate overkill there, methinks.
