One VBites Meat Free Gammon Style Roast (390g) cubed
3 tbsp of sunflower oil
3 tbsp of margarine
3 trimmed leeks, diced

Method Preheat the oven to 200c – Gas mark 6 Heat oil in a large frying pan and lightly fry the cubed turkey and gammon style pieces until sealed on each side. In a large saucepan melt the margarine and add the leeks and mushrooms, cook for 4-5 minutes until soft and the liquid has mostly evaporated. Sprinkle the plain flour over the mix and stir through. Add the vegetable stock and yeast flakes and simmer for 4-5 minutes. Once the sauce has started to thicken add the turkey and gammon style pieces and stir through. Lastly add the tarragon, dairy-free cream and black pepper. Season to taste with salt if needed. Pour pie filling into a pie dish. Roll out the puff pastry and cover the top. Brush with a little soya milk and bake for 20-30 minutes until the pastry is fully risen and golden brown.
