Provided by Melissa Thompson - Journalist and food writer

Categories     Lunch

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 23

2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 large tomato, chopped
3 thyme sprigs
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 scotch bonnet chilli, chopped (optional)
2½cm piece of ginger, peeled and grated
1 tsp ground turmeric
2 tsp each ground coriander
2 tsp ground cumin
½ tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp ground allspice
300g leftover roast turkey, chopped
350ml turkey or chicken stock
600g plain flour, plus extra for dusting
4 tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp mild curry powder
1 tsp sugar
300g cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
100g vegetable shortening, grated (or use very cold butter)
2 large eggs
1 tsp white wine vinegar
splash of milk

Steps:

  • First, make the pastry. Combine the flour, spices, sugar and 1 tsp salt. Rub in the butter and shortening with your fingers until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Whisk 1 egg and the vinegar together, then tip into the flour mixture. Bring together into a dough using your hands, adding 3-6 tbsp water if needed until just pliable. Knead for 3-5 mins, then cover and chill for 30 mins. Remove from the fridge 30 mins before you're ready to use.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a pan and fry the onion over a medium heat for 10 mins until softened. Add the tomato, thyme, garlic, chilli, if using, and ginger. Fry for a further 3 mins. Mix all the spices with a few tablespoons of water, then add to the pan. Fry for another 5 mins until the water evaporates and the spices are fragrant.
  • Add the turkey and fry for 5 mins. Pour in the stock, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10-15 mins until most of the liquid has reduced. Remove from the heat and leave to cool completely. Chill until ready to use. Will keep chilled for up to 24 hrs.
  • Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 6. Roll the chilled pastry out on a floured surface or sheet of baking parchment (this helps prevent the turmeric from staining the surface) to a 4mm thickness. If it starts to crack, press small pieces of the pastry into the gaps to fill. Using a 15cm-diameter bowl as a template, cut out as many circles of pastry as you can, then re-roll the offcuts and repeat until all the pastry has been used. You should end up with about 10 circles. Transfer to a baking tray lined with baking parchment.
  • Working with one pastry circle at a time, spoon 2 tbsp of the turkey curry filling onto one side of the circle, leaving a 2cm border. Beat the remaining egg with the milk and brush onto the border. Fold one half of the pastry over the other to form a semicircle and enclose the filling. Press the edges together, seal with a fork and prick the top all over.
  • Bake for 20-25 mins, or until the pastry is firm. Leave to cool slightly and serve. After cooling completely, will keep in the freezer for up to three months.
