Recipe
This turkey has recipe, given to me by my friend and agent, Ed Victor, and in charmingly bossy letter form, has been a recurring feature in my books. Why drop it now of all times? Not least, of course, because it is a real winner.
I’ve given it here as an actual recipe but, as with all these notions for left-overs, the quantities are meant to be a guide only. They are more of the “a handful of this, a handful of that” school of cookery, and that’s how it should be.
Anyway, this is my adaptation of the Victor original: I’ve fiddled a bit, but remained essentially faithful, as, indeed, I will always be to him.
