There is only so many times you can go into the fridge and have a wee pick at the carcass and let’s face it, if you bought a great slow reared St Brides of Strathaven Turkey or Kelly Bronze Turkey they are just too good to waste.
I think at this time of year, we need something a bit punchy and tossing some anchovies in with the turkey, some tatties, lemon juice and parsley sure knocks the spots of salad cream or mayo for me.
It’s so easy, I’m only asking you to boil some spuds, you can leave the skins on to get some fibre in your body too if you want!
So lets kick start the system and get ready for next week’s Ceilidh dancing: you’ll need all the strength you can get.
Have a great Hogmanay, get your dancing shoes on, wear the Tartan with pride and welcome 2013 with a large dram! Well that’s what I’ll be doing, hopefully you may join me. See you next year x
Turkey & anchovie Tattie Hash
Leftover Turkey, chopped
New (waxy) potatoes
Between a half and a whole small can of anchovies, chopped roughly. The amount you will need differs depending on the amount of turkey you have and how much you like anchovies!
Half a clove of garlic, crushed
A few spring onions, 1 small red onion or half a leek, sliced finely
Summer Harvest rapeseed oil
Lemon or lime juice
Fresh parsley
1 Mix the anchovies with the garlic, one tablespoon of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon/lime
2 Toss this mixture with the turkey and onion and leave to macerate while you boil some new potatoes until tender
3 Slice the potatoes while still warm and toss them immediately with the turkey and some chopped fresh parsley leaves
4 Other possible additions include black olives, capers and sun-dried tomatoes or anything super tasty that you have bought in a fancy jar this week!

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
