Turkey Salad with Mincemeat, Mango, Pomegranate, and Walnuts

This combination is not as mad as it sounds – I often put fruit and honey or something else sweet in a salad, and mincemeat is not so very different, and it goes fabulously well with the turkey. One of the things I love about Christmas is all the things I can do with the leftovers – I can chuck the rulebook in the compost bin and experiment with whatever’s hanging around in the fridge.

So when I found a few dollops of my Fig and Apricot Mincemeat left over – it’s suet-free and has about half the sugar of most mincemeats – it occurred to me that it might be rather good in a salad with the turkey – and it was.
