Ingredients

600g leftover mashed potato
200g leftover roast parsnips
25g pack flat-leaf parsley
1tbsp dried sage
1tbsp plain flour
8 slices Parma ham
1tbsp rapeseed oil
100ml leftover gravy

Method
1
In a large bowl, mix the leftover turkey, mashed potato, roast parsnips, parsley, chopped and sage. Season with black pepper.
2
Shape the mixture into 8 patties and lightly dust with the flour. Take the Parma ham and wrap 1 around each patty, then set aside.
3
Heat the oil in a nonstick frying pan over a medium setting. Working in batches, fry the patties for 4 mins on each side until the ham is crisp. Cover and keep in a warm place while you fry the remaining patties.
4
Whisk together the gravy and madeira or port (optional).
5
Once all the patties are cooked, add the gravy mixture to the empty pan. Simmer for 5 mins until you have a thick, glossy sauce.
6
Serve 2 patties per person with a drizzle of the madeira gravy and a green salad on the side.
