Yield Serves 8, plus makes 250g extra to stuff a 5kg turkey

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 tbsp sunflower oil
5 onions , finely chopped
300g white bread , in chunks
25g pack curly parsley
15g pack sage , leaves only
zest 3 lemons , juice of 1
8 cocktail sausages
4 smoked, dry-cured streaky bacon rashers, halved across the middle

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Heat the oil in a large frying pan, then soften the onions for 10 mins with the pan covered. Put the bread and herbs into a food processor and pulse until you have herby breadcrumbs. Stir into the onion pan along with the lemon zest and juice and plenty of seasoning. Set aside 250g to stuff the turkey, then press the remainder into a well buttered baking tin or dish, about 20 x 30cm, or use 2 smaller tins if that's all that you have.
  • Wrap half a bacon rasher around each sausage. Score the stuffing into 8 rectangles, then sit a sausage on top of each. Cover with foil and cook for 20 mins. Uncover, then roast for 20 mins more or until the sausages and bacon are golden and the stuffing golden and sizzling.
