SICILIAN TURKEY

An excellent way to use leftover turkey (or chicken). If you like your spice flavours to be stronger, then use 1/2 teaspoon amounts. Adapted from Australian chef Margaret Fulton's "Book of Slimming". Don't be put off by the title of the book! It was published in 1983 and, to me, really doesn't sound like a C21st title! This certainly does NOT taste like a dish for would-be-slimmers: there are too many delicious flavours for that! Think of it as more of a healthy, C21st low-BAD-fats recipe. Margaret Fulton was probably one of our first celebrity chefs. She and her recipes date back to at least the sixties and possibly earlier, certainly well before the term 'celebrity chef' was in such common usage!
