You can make this up to 2 days in advance, cover with cling film, then store in the fridge. Reheat until piping hot (it may need a little extra milk). Or, store the finished purée in the freezer in a sealed freezer bag or plastic container for up to 1 month. Defrost thoroughly before reheating.
We’ve used this purée to replace the more traditional bread sauce as it fulfils the same need on a plate – a dollop of something creamy that’s perfect with the simplicity of the turkey and the savoury complexity of the gravy.
