Our answer

Nigella's Chicken And Ham Pies (from FEAST) are both adult and child friendly and are made with cooked chicken and ham. The pies can also be made with cooked turkey and ham, and would be a perfect way to use up leftovers. You could make the filling on Boxing Day and use the same day, or on the 27th December.

Leftover turkey should be refrigerated within 2 hours of serving and, if reheating, always reheat until piping hot. Another dish that makes good use of leftover turkey is Nigella's Turkey And Glass Noodle Salad, or you could use cooked turkey in the Chicken, mango And Chilli salad or the Thai Chicken Noodle Soup.
