Instructions

• 1 Place cashew nuts in a cup with hot chicken stock or water with the chicken

• 2 Preheat the oven to 175 C / 350 F.
• 3 Pre-cook the turkey:
  
  Heat coconut oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the turkey meat and fry
  for 2-3 minutes each side, until lightly browned. Season with pepper, salt and
  onion powder and stir through. Set aside. In the meantime, prepare the
  vegetables.
• 4 Make the sauce:
  
  While the meat is cooking, heat the ghee in a small saucepan over medium heat
  and add the onion. Stir and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened. Then, add the
  mushrooms and salt and cook for a further 3-4 minutes, stirring a few times
  until both are soft and golden. Once cooked, add the onion and mushrooms to a
  food processor or a high-speed blender. Add the cashews together with the stock,
  garlic, nutritional yeast and lemon juice. Blend on high speed until well pureed
  and smooth.
• 5 Mix the crumbs ingredients in a small ramekin and set aside.
• 6 Assemble the casserole:
  
  Add raw vegetables, mushrooms and pre-cooked turkey to a large casserole dish or
  an oven-proof baking tray. Pour the sauce over the top and stir through well.
  Sprinkle evenly with the crumbs mixture. Place the casserole dish in the oven,
  middle shelf, and cook for 20 minutes.
