It's St. Stephen's Day, you're tired, you were up late drinking cans or sherry or whatever you were having yourself, and the last thing you want to do is think about what you're having for dinner. Well, fret no longer, dear friends, as we've got a cracking turkey curry recipe straight from our friends at McDonnells to get you through the post-Christmas malaise. You can throw this one together in roughly half an hour, leaving you plenty of time to watch Elf, Home Alone or Willy Wonka for the fifth or sixth time in the space of a week. Oh, and needless to say, this works equally well with chicken for anyone daring to be a little bit different this festive season. Ingredients:

• Combine the McDonnells Curry Sauce, the leftover turkey, onion and pepper and cook gently for 20 minutes.
• Best served with Basmati rice and a dollop of creme fraiche.

This recipe should comfortably serve four people, but better again if there are fewer of you so you can easily go back for seconds. Don't forget to follow McDonnells on Facebook and keep an eye out for more delicious recipes.
