Cold Turkey Leftovers With Mayonnaise
You know the feeling, hostile family eyes that dare you to serve one more slice of cold turkey before the dog gets his share.
Well this is one dish they won't want to give away. It's simple, delicious and can be made to stretch to any number of people. It also deals with that dryness you often find in cold turkey cuts.

2.3kg (5lb) cold turkey
1 tbsp olive oil + 1 tsp sesame oil
1 small, finely chopped onion
1 tbsp curry paste
1 tbsp tomato puree
