Turkey salad with almonds, mint and orange zest makes a great sandwich stuffer.Rebecca Hallas

What to do with all those leftovers? After you've snacked on the cold roast vegetables, turkey and stuffing and there's still some left over, I like turkey on buttered sourdough bread grilled with mustard and cheddar. Alternatively, try this lovely salad.

Ingredients

400g leftover roast turkey
4 tbsp flaked almonds, toasted
2 spring onions, thinly sliced (white and light-green part only)
2 tbsp mint leaves, torn
½ tsp grated orange zest
3 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp white wine vinegar
1 tbsp mayonnaise (optional - it gives the dressing a little richness)
salt and pepper

Method

Slice the turkey and combine with the almonds, spring onions, mint and zest. Make a dressing with the oil, vinegar, mayonnaise, salt and pepper. Pour over the salad and toss to combine.
Serve as a salad or pile on slices of fresh, buttered bread.
