Ingredients

• 1 onion, chopped
• 50g butter
• 140g small button mushrooms, thickly sliced
• 200g vac-pack whole cooked chestnuts, halved
• 170g pack Ardennes pâté, cubed
• 25g pack parsley, chopped
• 1 tbsp thyme leaves
• 6 rashers smoked streaky bacon, each rasher cut into 6-8 pieces
• 140g oatmeal breadcrumbs (we used an Allinson sliced oatmeal loaf) or white breadcrumbs
• 2 eggs

Directions

1. Fry the onion in the butter for 5 mins. Add the mushrooms, then fry for 5 mins more.
2. Tip into a bowl, then lightly stir in the other ingredients with plenty of seasoning. Stuff into the neck end of the turkey, or spoon into oiled muffin tins (half-fill to make 8 servings) and bake for 30 mins alongside the turkey.
