Warm turkey salad with potatoes and figs

Hello everyone,

Are you getting into the Christmas spirit? I had to go out earlier today and my errands involved visiting a major shopping centre on Sydney’s northern beaches, which I dreaded. To my surprise it wasn’t too busy on the roads or in the shops and I parked easily everywhere I went. Hmmm, not sure why – perhaps everyone is saving themselves for next weekend?

This week’s recipe is something you might want to serve at Christmas or to use up leftover turkey afterwards. It is sensational and very easy to do and looks fabulous. It has several yummy things in it and you can substitute ingredients if you wish.

Have a good week!

Love from Jane xx
