Method

Hide images
step 1
If you aren’t using leftover turkey, preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas mark 4.
step 2
Add the turkey thigh (1 pack) to a large oven dish and drizzle with 1 tbsp of olive oil and a generous pinch of salt.
step 3
Cover tightly with aluminium foil and place in the middle of the oven. Cook for 2 hours and then remove the foil, cooking for a further 15 minutes until the turkey is piping hot throughout and the juices run clear. Leave to cool slightly and then shred the turkey meat with two forks.
step 4
Meanwhile, add the pomegranate rubies (300 g), jalapeño (1), red onion (1) and lime juice (1) to a mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper and leave to one side.
step 5
Add the yogurt (3 tbsp), chipotle paste (1 tsp) and lime juice (1) to another mixing bowl and mix well. Add the slaw mix (1 pack) and stir until combined. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
step 6
Meanwhile, add the hot honey sauce (100 g) to a medium saucepan over medium heat with the fajita seasoning (3 tbsp). Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the shredded turkey meat (or shredded leftover turkey meat, if using). Simmer for 5-7 minutes, until sticky and reduced.
step 7
Heat the tacos (1 pack) according to the pack instructions in a dry frying pan over a high heat for 30 seconds on each side.
step 8
Serve the tacos alongside the cooked turkey, guacamole (1 tub), slaw and pomegranate salsa in bowls so everyone can help themselves.
