Asian-inspired turkey salad & pancakes
This brilliant little salad is one for all of those people who say they only like white meat. I promise, if you like crispy duck - and most people I know do - then you'll love this because, actually, I think this crispy turkey meat is even better! The flavours are incredible and I guarantee this salad will smack everyone in the chops and wake them up after Christmas. The dressing will make quite a lot, but will keep for a few days and is also gorgeous over fish or other salads.
