Method

  1. Put the turkey joint in a 4ltr slow-cooker and add the onions. In a large jug, mix the stock with the mustards, then pour in the apple juice and the spices; mix well. Pour over the thigh joint to cover and gently swirl the meat in the liquid. Cover and cook for 5 hrs on the highest setting.

  2. Once the turkey is cooked through, use a slotted spoon to transfer it to a serving dish, along with the onions and spices. Discard the bone, skin and the star anise, then shred the meat.

  3. Split the rolls and divide the coleslaw between them, then top with the shredded turkey, onions and rocket leaves. Serve with extra mustard, if you like.
