Heat butter in a frypan and cook onion over a gentle heat until softened but not browned (about 6 minutes). Add curry powder and tomato paste and cook for another minute, stirring over heat. Add red wine, bay leaves and water and simmer a further 5 minutes, stirring to lift any tomato mixture from the bottom of the pan.

Fold the turkey through the mayonnaise mixture. Place lettuce on serving plates, top with turkey mixture and garnish with parsley and flaked almonds.
