Asian-spiced turkey with a deliciously sweet and spiced peach and cranberry chutney.

We used cranberry sauce not whole berry sauce. Use chicken mince if you prefer. Note

Meatballs can be baked a day ahead. Keep, covered, in the refrigerator. Reheat in a slow oven just before serving. Note

Serve with cranberry sauce and accompany with vegetables of your choice. Recipe is best prepared as required. Note

The turkey buffé, or breast, is perfect if you don't require the entire bird to feed the hoards on Christmas day. The special stuffing and paprika rub add a touch of festive cheer.

Ask the butcher to butterfly the turkey for you. The turkey can be cooked in the oven, if you prefer. Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced) and cook, uncovered, on wire rack, for about 1¾ hours. Note

This roast is delicious accompanied with gravy and vegetables or salad of your choice. The chorizo seasoning can be prepared and served separately as a side dish, rather than as a stuffing, if desired.
