Categories     dessert

Time 1h35m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
Pinch of kosher salt
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 small baking apples (such as Braeburn, Golden Delicious or Pink Lady), peeled, cored and cut into 1/2-inch dice
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 large egg
Two 17.3-ounce packages frozen puff pastry (4 sheets), thawed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Mix together the brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice and salt in a small bowl until well combined.
  • Melt the butter in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the apples and cook until beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the lemon juice and 3 tablespoons of the brown sugar mixture and continue to cook until the apples are soft and the sugar is caramelized, about 10 minutes. Let cool.
  • Beat the egg with 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl. Unfold 2 puff pastry sheets and cut a circle from each using a 7-inch bowl. Use the scraps to form the head, neck, wattle, feet and wing: Cut a piece vertically off one side of one of the scrap pieces, about 1 1/2 inches wide at the top and coming to a point at the bottom. Cut about 3 inches off the top of this strip. Pinch the pointed end and fold up and over to form the head and neck of the turkey. Next, cut 2 small triangles (about 1 1/2 inches) at the base for the feet. Cut 2 small triangles out of each foot to form 3 toes, then pinch these slightly to make claws. Cut one 2-inch-long narrow triangle with a slightly rounded base for the wattle. Cut a 4 1/2-inch triangle off the opposite corner of the scrap dough for the wing. Cut 2 small triangles from 2 of the edges and score each of these edges slightly with a few lines.
  • Transfer one of the pastry circles to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Use the egg wash to attach the head, neck, wattle and feet (the pieces should slightly overlap onto the pastry circle).
  • Unfold the remaining 2 sheets puff pastry and brush one side of one sheet with egg wash. Sprinkle the remaining brown sugar mixture in an even layer over the egg wash. Top with the second puff pastry sheet. Using the creases in the puff pastry as a guide, cut off a third of the pastry rectangle to make 2 rectangles, one large (two-thirds of the original rectangle) and one small (one-third of the original rectangle).
  • Cut 10 horizontal strips from the large rectangle, each about 3/4 inch wide, being careful not to cut completely through to the other side (these will be the feathers). Brush the right half of the pastry circle with egg wash and top with the feathers piece, curving it to follow along the right edge of the puff pastry round. Crimp with a fork to seal and twist each strip.
  • Cut the smaller rectangle into 10 horizontal strips. Twist and place around and between the larger twisted strips to fill out the feathers.
  • Add the apple mixture to the center of the puff pastry round. Brush the outside with egg wash and place the second round on top. Use a fork to seal and press down the edges of the rounds, sealing the pieces and the apples inside the round. Brush all over with egg wash (including the twists). Place the wing in the center of the round and brush with egg wash. Bake until very golden brown and puffed, 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool before serving.

TURKEY POTPIE



Turkey Potpie image

No one knows when people started making pies, but they were common in medieval Middle Eastern and European cooking. "The Oxford Companion to Food" speculates that the English word may come from the word "magpie," because magpies collect random items in the way a pie often houses varied ingredients. It's appropriate, then, that this pie is here to accommodate your Thanksgiving leftovers: turkey, of course, but also leftover roasted squash or sautéed mushrooms in place of peas, chop up half a rutabaga instead of carrot and celery, or a stray leek or shallot instead of onion. Any fresh soft herbs can go in the biscuit topping. For an even simpler version, use canned biscuits arranged on top of the filling as the crust, or defrosted puff pastry with a vent cut in the middle. For a more assertive flavor, use the larger amount of mustard.

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
8 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small chunks
1/4 cup thinly sliced chives
1/4 cup chopped, lightly packed fresh soft herbs, such as parsley, dill or tarragon
3/4 cup buttermilk
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 small red or yellow onion, chopped
Kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
6 garlic cloves, chopped
1 small or medium carrot, peeled and chopped
2 celery ribs, including leaves, chopped
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon onion powder
2 cups chicken or turkey broth or stock
2 teaspoons to 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Juice of ½ lemon (about 1 generous tablespoon)
1 1/2 cups chopped or shredded cooked turkey or chicken
3/4 cup frozen peas
Black pepper

Steps:

  • Make the biscuit dough: In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Add the cold chunks of butter and toss to coat. Using your fingers, pinch, smear and squeeze the butter into the flour until the butter pieces are the size of a penny or the size of a pea. There's no need for perfection, but the butter should be evenly distributed throughout the flour, and each butter bit should be coated in flour. Stir in the chives and herbs. Pour the buttermilk into the mixture and mix it briefly and gently with a fork, just until a shaggy dough forms. Cover and put the dough in the refrigerator while you make the filling.
  • Make the filling: Heat the oven to 400 degrees. In an oven-safe 10-inch skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the onion, season lightly with salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent and shrunken, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic, carrot and celery, and cook, stirring, until fragrant and slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Add the flour and the onion powder, and cook, stirring constantly, until the flour is completely incorporated with the vegetables, about 1 minute. Whisk in the chicken broth, mustard, Worcestershire and lemon juice, and cook, whisking, until the mixture comes to a bubble. Let it cook, whisking once or twice, until it thickens to lightly coat the back of a spoon, about 2 minutes. Stir in the turkey and the peas. Season generously with black pepper; taste and season with additional salt if desired. Remove pan from the heat.
  • Evenly scatter the biscuit dough over the top of the filling, in golfball-size clumps. (Don't press or roll the dough into neat balls, which can make the biscuits tough.) Put the skillet on a foil-lined sheet pan to catch any drips and bake in the oven until the filling is bubbling and the biscuits are lightly browned, 35 minutes. (If using canned biscuits or puff pastry, the cook time will be closer to 25 minutes. Check the package directions for a guide.)

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 29

For turkey and stock:
1 medium leek, coarsely chopped
2 garlic cloves, smashed
2 celery ribs, coarsely chopped
2 medium carrots, coarsely chopped
1 Turkish or 1/2 California bay leaf
1 1/4 pounds dark turkey parts (1 leg and 1 thigh)
For pastry
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons yellow cornmeal (preferably stone-ground; not coarse)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 to 4 tablespoons ice water
1 large egg white
For filling
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion
2 medium carrots, halved lengthwise and cut into 1/4-inch-thick pieces
1 celery rib, halved lengthwise and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
10 ounces mushrooms, trimmed and quartered lengthwise
8 ounces boiling potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Special Equipment
a pastry or bench scraper

Steps:

  • Cook turkey and make stock:
  • Wash chopped leek well in a bowl of cold water, agitating it, then lift out and drain well.
  • Bring all stock ingredients to a boil in a 4- to 5-quart saucepan, skimming froth, then reduce heat and gently simmer, partially covered, until reduced to about 4 cups, about 1 1/4 hours.
  • Pour stock through a large sieve into a bowl. Transfer turkey to a cutting board to cool. Discard remaining solids.
  • When meat is cool enough to handle, coarsely shred from bone, discarding skin, and set aside.
  • Make pastry while stock simmers:
  • Blend together flour, cornmeal, butter, and salt in a bowl with your fingertips or a pastry blender (or pulse in a food processor) until most of the mixture resembles coarse meal with some roughly pea-size butter lumps. Drizzle evenly with 3 tablespoons ice water and gently stir with a fork (or pulse in processor) until incorporated.
  • Squeeze a small handful: If it doesn't hold together, add more ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring (or pulsing) until just incorporated, then test again. (Do not overwork, or pastry will be tough.)
  • Turn out mixture onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 2 portions. With heel of your hand, smear each portion once or twice in a forward motion to help distribute fat. Gather dough together with scraper and press into a ball, then flatten into a 3-inch disk. Chill dough, wrapped tightly in plastic wrap, until firm, at least 1 hour.
  • Make filling while pastry chills:
  • Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté onion, carrots, and celery, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 10 minutes. Add mushrooms, potatoes, and garlic and sauté, stirring, until vegetables are crisp-tender, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in turkey, peas, and thyme.
  • Transfer filling to a 3- to 31/2-quart glass or ceramic baking dish.
  • Reheat stock in a 2- to 3-quart saucepan over moderate heat.
  • Transfer about 1/2 cup hot stock to a small bowl and whisk in flour, salt, and pepper until smooth. Whisk flour mixture into remaining stock and boil until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Pour sauce over filling in dish.
  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Roll out dough into a roughly 10- by 7-inch oval on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin, then place over filling and trim excess dough flush with edge of dish. Brush with egg white, then bake until filling bubbles and crust is golden, about 30 minutes.
  • Transfer to a rack and cool slightly, about 10 minutes.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't forget anything.
  • Use a Sharp Knife: A sharp knife is essential for cutting vegetables, fruits, and meat. A dull knife will make your task more difficult and can even be dangerous.
  • Season Your Food: Don't be afraid to season your food with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. This will help to bring out the natural flavors of the ingredients.
  • Cook Your Meat Properly: Make sure to cook your meat to the proper temperature to ensure that it is safe to eat. You can use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the meat.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When cooking meat or vegetables, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the food from cooking evenly.
  • Deglaze the Pan: After cooking meat or vegetables, you can deglaze the pan with a liquid such as wine, broth, or water. This will help to dissolve any browned bits and create a flavorful sauce.
  • Let Your Food Rest: After cooking meat or poultry, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing or serving. This will help to redistribute the juices and make the meat more tender.
