2kg potatoes
400g turkey steaks
2 medium carrots
150ml double cream
150g butter
Cranberry sauce
Salt and pepper
Method:

Set out all your prepared ingredients, keeping them close to hand
Drain the potatoes. Take a large sheet of foil and place a couple of handfuls of diced potatoes along with some turkey and carrots into the centre.
Place a couple of handfuls of potatoes, carrots and turkey strips on centre of the foil
Drizzle 2-3 tablespoons of double cream and place several cubes of butter over the top. Add 1-2 heaped tablespoons of cranberry sauce to the top. Season all over with salt and pepper.
Drizzle with cream, dot with butter and add one or two tablespoons of cranberry sauce on top
Fold up the sides of the foil. Bring up the sides that are lengthways first and try to get them to meet in the middle on either side. Then fold up the shorter sides bringing them up into the centre, creating a foil package around the ingredients.
Wrap the foil around securely creating a sealed parcel
Place on the BBQ or in the oven at 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4 for approximately 35-45 minutes or until potatoes are cooked through.
