Here's a recipe for a classic and comforting Turkey Pot Pie:
Yields: 6 servings
Prep time: 30 minutes
Cook time: 45 minutes
Ingredients:
* For the filling:
* 3 tablespoons butter
* 1 onion, chopped
* 2 carrots, chopped
* 2 celery stalks, chopped
* 3 cloves garlic, minced
* 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
* 4 cups turkey broth
* 1 cup milk
* 1 teaspoon dried thyme
* 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
* 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
* 3 cups cooked turkey, shredded
* 1 cup frozen peas and carrots (or other mixed vegetables)
* For the crust:
* 2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
* 1/2 cup cold butter, cut into small pieces
* 4-6 tablespoons ice water
Instructions:
Make the filling:
* Sauté vegetables: Melt butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
* Make the roux: Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually whisk in turkey broth and milk until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, and cook for 5 minutes, or until thickened.
* Combine ingredients: Stir in thyme, oregano, and black pepper. Add shredded turkey, frozen vegetables, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Make the crust:
* Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and baking powder.
* Cut in butter: Cut in cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
* Add water: Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
* Divide dough: Divide dough in half. Wrap each half in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Assemble and bake:
* Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
* Roll out dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out one half of the dough to a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a 9-inch pie plate.
* Fill the pie: Pour the turkey filling into the pie crust.
* Top with crust: Roll out the remaining dough to a 10-inch circle. Place over the filling and trim edges. Crimp edges to seal. Cut slits in the top crust to vent.
* Bake: Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
* Let rest: Let the pot pie rest for 15 minutes before serving.
Tips:
* For a richer flavor, use homemade turkey broth.
* You can use puff pastry instead of making your own crust.
* Add other vegetables to the filling, such as peas, corn, or mushrooms.
* Top with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh herbs before serving.
