Preparation

Place raisins and brandy in a small Pyrex jug, cover and  heat on High (100%) for 2 ½ minutes or until the brandy is absorbed. Set aside to cool. Cut apples lengthwise into 3mm thick slices. In a bowl combine the walnuts, celery, apples, turkey and half the raisins  with enough mayonnaise to coat. Season to taste and toss well to combine. Divide mixture among the plates, sprinkle with remaining raisins and parsley. Garnish with celery leaves to serve.

TIPS:  To poach the turkey breast, place it in a microwave safe container with some peppercorns, a celery and parsley stalk and 2 spring onions. Cover with warm chicken stock, then cover the container and microwave on MED (50-60%) for 9 minutes, turning over halfway through cooking time.

This dish may be prepared a day ahead and kept refrigerated.
