Method

  1. Heat the oil in a large lidded, heavy-based pan over a medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 5-10 mins until soft. Add the garlic, ras el hanout, orange zest and crushed chillies and cook for 2 mins until fragrant. Season.
  2. Add the chorizo, tomatoes, chickpeas, stock and olives. Bring to the boil, then cover with the lid and simmer for 35-40 mins. Top up with a little hot water if it begins to thicken too much.
  3. Stir through the spinach and leftover turkey and simmer for 5 mins until the spinach has wilted and the turkey is heated through. Finish with chopped coriander. Serve with rice or crusty bread, if you like.

Tip: This stew is also perfect for leftover roast veg such as carrots, sprouts and butternut squash. Roughly chop and stir through with the spinach and turkey to heat through.

You could also use this stew to make a spicy turkey pie. Spoon the mixture into an ovenproof dish and top with ready rolled puff pastry. Brush with beaten egg and bake in the oven at gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C for 30 mins until golden and puffed.
