Method
-
1Preheat the oven to 190°C (170°C fan forced)
-
2To make the sauce, melt the butter in a 33cm cast-iron Signature Roaster over low to medium heat on the hob. Add the onions and gently sauté for 4 to 5 minutes until softened and lightly caramelised, stirring occasionally.
-
3Stir in the flour and continue to cook for 1 minute. Remove the roaster from the heat and, using a silicone whisk, stir in the stock a little at a time, followed by the cream, until smoothly incorporated.
-
4Return the roaster to the heat, bring to a simmer and cook while stirring until thickened. Add the pepper and nutmeg, and season to taste with salt.
-
5Stir the leftovers into the sauce and heat for 2 to 3 minutes.
-
6To make the topping, combine the breadcrumbs, herbs, lemon zest and cheese, and sprinkle over the top of the dish. Transfer to the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden and bubbling.
-
7Serve with crusty bread.

8Cook's note:If the cooked vegetables are a little large cut in half before adding. Chicken can be used instead of turkey.
