Per serving: 387 kcals, 12g fat

Ingredients

300ml turkey or chicken stock
4 skinless British turkey breast escalopes, cut into 1-2cm strips
1 large leek, rinsed and finely chopped
300ml double cream
1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
1 tbsp parsley, chopped
225g frozen peas, cooked
salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method

Pour the stock into a saucepan and bring to the boil. Add the turkey strips, turn down the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.

Lift out the turkey pieces and keep warm, then bring the stock back to a rapid boil until reduced by two thirds.

Meanwhile, cook the leek in a pan of boiling salted water for 3-4 minutes, or until just tender. Drain well and keep warm.

Add the cream, mustard, parsley and peas to the reduced stock. Then stir in the cooked turkey and leeks and heat gently to warm through.

Season well with salt and pepper and serve straight away in bowls, with boiled potatoes.
