This Turkey and Red Peas soup is the perfect way to use up those holiday left overs. This tasty medley of meat and vegetables will warm your tummy and your heart.

Comfort food comes in many forms and this Turkey and red peas soup is one of them.

After making my White wine Braised Turkey legs I was left with two massive leg bones. Waste is something I try to avoid as there are always ways to utilise left overs so after a daily video call with my parents back home, the idea of soup was formed.

Without a doubt, I enjoy fusing Caribbean influences into my dishes because the flavors are always fresh and inviting and its a piece of me of course.

This soup consists of a turkey leg bone and meat, left over stock, red kidney beans (known to us as red peas), vegetables, herbs and coconut milk.

The Red peas soak up all that turkey flavor making them plump and meaty. Also the combination of robust turkey, fragrant herbs and creamy coconut milk are heaven!

In addition to a side of Black Pepper and Thyme Biscuits and its a wholesome meal on a cold winter night.

• Use any vegetables or meat for this dish. Chicken or lamb will also pair well with these flavors.
