Christmas leftovers turkey toastie

Treat your Boxing Day sandwich to an air-fryer upgrade in this easy recipe. When making toasties in the air fryer, think of them as a stack of ingredients rather than fillings encased in bread. Everything cooks at the same time (compare this to when the heat comes from below: you need to flip the toastie and wait for the centre to warm through), so if cheese, turkey or sprouts are exposed, they’ll get a nice crisp caramelisation too.

Cooking a toastie in the air fryer ensures an even crispness and, as the heat is coming from all directions, you don’t need to squish it down – which means you can stuff it with more fillings! This is an endlessly versatile base to work with; the cheese and bread sauce provide the necessary glue to hold together whatever leftovers you have.
