Are you looking for a recipe to use up leftover turkey or roast meat? This rustic leftover cake is the perfect solution: easy, quick, and delicious. With a semi-whole wheat pastry base, a juicy filling of meat, mushrooms, and scallions, and a gratinated cheese topping, it becomes a light but satisfying dinner for the whole family. It's ideal for those days when you don't know what to do with leftovers and want something special without complications.

Why you'll love it?

  • Total use: use the meat juices to add more flavor to the filling.
  • Customizable: you can swap the mushrooms for other vegetables or use different cheeses.
  • Perfect for any occasion: serve as a main dish with a salad or as an appetizer in portions.

The dough is folded over the filling creating a rustic edge that contains all the juice, and when baked at 200°C for about 30 minutes, it turns golden and crispy. This cake is a creative way to reduce food waste while enjoying a comforting homemade meal.

Directions
