Turkey cacciatore with a twist

This tasty Italian cheese and tomato bake is a fab way to use up leftover meat and a true family favourite.

Ingredients

2 small or 1 large onion, chopped

2 garlic clove, crushed

3 tbsp olive oil

2 tsp dried oregano

3 x cans chopped tomatoes or cherry tomatoes

1 tbsp sugar

little splash vinegar

about 500g leftover turkey, shredded into chunks

1 x 125g balls mozzarella

2 good handfuls fresh breadcrumbs

Method

Fry the onion and garlic in the oil until softened. Add the tomatoes and sugar, a little splash of vinegar and some seasoning, then simmer for 20 mins until really thick. Stir in the turkey and transfer to a baking dish. Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7.

Tear over the mozzarella in chunks, then scatter over the breadcrumbs with a bit more ground pepper. Bake for 20 mins until turkey is piping hot through, and the top is golden and bubbling. Eat with mash, jackets, rice or pasta
