Rebecca Wilson is a cook and best-selling author. She topped charts with her best-selling cookbooks.

The expert, whose last book Family Comforts focuses on autumnal and festive meals, focuses on family meals.

Rebecca is also an expert on feeding a family on a budget.

Express.co.uk quizzed the cooking expert on her leftovers recipes.

The cook had a novel idea for all those Christmas dinner leftovers.

She said: “I like to add a couple of extra packets of ready rolled puff pastry onto my Christmas shopping list.”

What on earth for, you ask? Well, Rebecca turns her leftovers into a sausage roll.

She explained: ” Anything wrapped in pastry is heaven in my book.

“I love nothing more than leftover Christmas dinner, (including the gravy!), piled into a big festive sausage roll.”

The expert loads her turkey and sides in pastry, and bakes it “until crispy and golden on the outside.”

It’s a great alternative to the classic Christmas sandwich.

Rebecca said: “I sometimes look forward to that more than I do my actual Christmas dinner.”

If you prefer a classic Christmas turkey sandwich recipe, a former MasterChef winner told Express.co.uk his. 

Kenny Tutt told readers: “This sandwich highlights the joys of Christmas day leftovers.

“Giving you the very best fillings with very little effort.

“To be totally honest I actually look forward to all the flavours of Christmas neatly tucked between two thick pieces of bread more than the main event itself.”

He also adds creamy flavour with Boursin cheese.
