Method

Step 1

Heat the oil in a pan and cook the sausagemeat, breaking it up into small bits. Season, then cook until golden and a little crisp. Add the onion and cook until softened. Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes, then stir in the squash and cook for a few minutes until starting to soften at the edges.
Step 2

Add the flour and stir in completely. Tip in the sherry, then gradually add the stock and stir until simmering. Put on a lid and cook gently until the squash is just tender. Stir in the sage and turkey.
Step 3

To make the béchamel, melt the butter, then stir in the flour and cook for 2-3 minutes or until lightly golden. Gradually stir in the milk to make a sauce. Season, then add 60g of the manchego.
