Turkey and Walnut Pancakes

OK, so I may be getting a bit obsessed with pancakes now… but I couldn’t resist posting one last recipe as it is (finally) Shrove Tuesday today.

Years ago, I was a demonstrator for The Pampered Chef, an American company that sold really good quality cooking accessories, and this filling was a recipe I used to demonstrate various pieces of their equipment to potential customers. Everyone always loved it and although it wasn’t used in pancakes then, I’ve since found that it makes a brilliant filling for them. Sadly Pampered Chef doesn’t exist in the UK anymore (though you can still sometimes find their stuff on eBay) but I still use their big glass jug to make pancake batter (and for a million other things too).

I’ve used quick-cook turkey steaks here, which most supermarkets sell (thank you, Elliott, for introducing me to these!), but leftover cooked chicken would work just as well too. And I’ve used gram flour as well as plain flour for the pancakes because I like the nutty taste and the rich colour it gives, but you can use all plain flour if you prefer. These would make a lovely supper at any time of year, not just on Pancake Day - serve them with a crisp salad.
