Turkey, Brie & Cranberry Toastie with Rocket
A single portion of British cooking, ready in 13 minutes with 5 minutes of prep. Written for one, so there is nothing to halve and nothing to waste.
About 650 kcal and 36 g protein a serving (51 g carbs, 34 g fat). Worked out from the ingredients, so a guide only.
Method
- 1
Butter the outside of both slices of bread. Spread the cranberry sauce on the inside of one, layer on the turkey and brie, and top with the other slice, buttered side out.
- 2
Cook in a frying pan over a medium-low heat for 3–4 minutes each side, pressing down with a spatula, until golden, the brie has melted and the turkey is hot through.
- 3
Toss the rocket with the oil and a pinch of salt and serve it alongside.
Cook's notes
- Sizes. Vegetables, fruit and eggs are medium unless the recipe says otherwise. A tin is a standard 400g tin.
- Dairy. Salted or unsalted butter both work; with salted, go easy on any extra salt. Use full-fat soured cream, crème fraîche and yoghurt in anything hot, as low-fat versions split.
- Stock. A cube or pot made up as the packet says. Cubes are salty, so taste before adding more salt.
- Heat. Medium means a gentle sizzle, not spitting. High means the oil shimmers before the food goes in. A simmer is a few lazy bubbles, not a rolling boil. Leave the lid off unless the recipe says to cover.
- Pans. A small saucepan is about 16cm and a frying pan about 24cm. Sauces reduce faster in a wider pan, so go by how it looks rather than the clock.
- Doneness. Chicken and turkey should reach 75°C in the thickest part, pork 65 to 70°C, and beef steak 55°C for medium-rare. Rest steaks and chops for a few minutes before slicing.
- Finishing. Taste before serving. Most dishes want a pinch more salt, and a squeeze of lemon or a splash of vinegar lifts anything rich.
- Leftovers. Cool quickly, cover and keep in the fridge for up to 2 days, then reheat until piping hot. Cooked rice keeps for 1 day and should only be reheated once.
