Method

1.Make kumara mash: Fill a large saucepan with salted water; add kumara. Bring to the boil. Cook 15-20 minutes until very tender. Drain well and mash with butter and milk or cream. Season to taste. Set aside to keep warm.
2.Meanwhile, in a large frying pan, heat oil on medium. Cook turkey slices 2 minutes, each side, until golden brown. Transfer to a plate.
3.In same pan, sauté eschalots and bacon 4-5 minutes, until all the fat renders from the bacon and echalots turn lightly golden.
4.Stir in mushrooms, thyme and garlic and cook 1 minute. Add cider to pan to de-glaze. Simmer 4-5 minutes until almost completely evaporated.
5.Return turkey to pan with cream and apples. Simmer 4-5 minutes until apples are just tender. Serve with kumara mash and topped with extra thyme.

Soak eschalots in boiling water for 15 minutes before peeling to loosen the skins.
