Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Heat the oil in a large frying pan and cook the onion, garlic and 2 tsp of the herbs for 3 mins until starting to soften. Add the turkey and brown all over, then tip in the tomatoes and cook for 5 mins more.

  • step 2

    Scoop out the middle of the marrow and discard (or fry, then freeze for another time – try it mashed with potato). Arrange the slices in a baking dish. Spoon the mince into the middle of each marrow slice, then spoon the rest over the top. Cover with foil and bake for 30 mins.

  • step 3

    Meanwhile, mix remaining herbs with the breadcrumbs and Parmesan. Remove the marrow from the oven, uncover, and sprinkle over the crumbs. Return to the oven for 10 mins more until crumbs are golden and crisp and marrow is tender.

question

Going to take out turkey, perhaps add another veg. Do you think this would be nice cold on a buffet table? TIA

Hi, thanks for your question. Yes this could be served cold at a buffet. You could try replacing the turkey with some pre-cooked lentils or beans such as butterbeans. Red peppers would also work well in this recipe. We hope this helps. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.

tip

Score the marrow skin in a hash style, rub with oil and a spice mix - it really helps to soften the skin and you get great flavour inside and out!

Hi what does hash style mean, and what spice mix did you use please? Thank you

question

If slicing marrow in half lengthways can a lot of the internal flesh be left in situ, before stuffing?

I would still remove some of the flesh but chop it fine and add it to the stuffing mixture

tip

I peel the marrow before slicing into rings, and plunge them into boiling water for 1-2 minutes before stuffing and baking. You can also use leftover bolognese sauce mixed with rice for a stuffing, and cover with grated cheese for the last 5 minutes of baking.

Such a great tip with the par boiling, thanks

I made this using 8% fat pork mince, fresh sage, dried marjoram and thyme. I cooked it covered with foil for 50 mins then added the topping and baked for 10 mins. Absolutely delicious.
