Savory Turkey Pie - From the Blooming Kitchen Garden
After roasting the gigantic turkey, I stripped off a lot of the meat and bagged it for the freezer. Why? To make this comforting and delicious turkey pie!
Savory Turkey Pie
Pie pastry (I try to always make my own, but in a pinch the store stuff will work!)
1-2 cups diced turkey meat (a mix of light and dark meat is best - bt use what you have!)
1.5 cups thick gravy (I make extra "gravy" with stock - make a roux of 2Tbs each butter and white flour, simmer in a saucepan til the raw taste of the flour is goner, add a bit of milk + 1-2 cups stock. Season to taste. You want it pretty thick - like a crem soup)
2 cups diced potatoes, boiled til tender and drained
2 cups mixed vegetables, lightly cooked
Lay the bottom pastry in your pan - you can use a pie pan or I have often used loaf pans to great success. Put half the turkey meat in an even layer across the bottom. Put the potatoes and other veggies on top. Layer the remains of the turkey on to of the veggies. Spoon the gravy evenly over all. Lay on the stop pastry, crimping the sides well. Pierce the top to allow steam to escape. Bake at 400F for 30 minutes, until pastry is golden. Allow to cool for 10-15 minutes prior to serving.
