Ingredients
- 1 Turkey, carcass only
- 1 Onion, finely chopped
- 50ml Olive oil, plus another dash
- 1 clove Garlic, crushed
- 175g Risotto rice
- 400-550ml turkey stock, (made from the carcass)
- 200g cooked left-over vegetables, cut into a small dice
- 200g cooked turkey meat, diced
- 2-3 sprigs Sage, chopped
- 50 g Mascarpone
- 100g grated Parmesan
To serve
Method
1. Break the turkey carcass up and put into a large saucepan, cover with water and bring to the boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes. Strain the liquid through a sieve into a bowl. It is now ready for the risotto.2. Put the onions in a large frying pan along with the olive oil, garlic and a pinch of salt. Cook until the onions are transparent and soft.
3. Stir in the rice and cook until very hot. Add a ladleful or 2 of stock and cook until almost absorbed before adding more. Keep repeating this process, stirring until the rice is creamy but slightly al dente. This will take around 18 minutes.
4. Add the chopped vegetables and diced turkey meat, continue to cook a further 2 minutes - it is important to heat the turkey through.
5. Finish the dish by stirring through the chopped sage, a dash of olive oil, the mascarpone and parmesan. Divide into 4 bowls and garnish with parmesan shavings, a drizzle of olive oil and freshly cracked pepper.
