Provided by Rob Neil

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Savory Pie Recipes     Pot Pie Recipes     Turkey Pot Pie Recipes

Time 1h30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups frozen peas and carrots
2 cups frozen green beans
1 cup sliced celery
⅔ cup butter
⅔ cup chopped onion
⅔ cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon celery seed
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 ¾ cups chicken broth
1 ⅓ cups milk
4 cups cubed cooked turkey meat - light and dark meat mixed
4 (9 inch) unbaked pie crusts

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Place the peas and carrots, green beans, and celery into a saucepan; cover with water, bring to a boil, and simmer over medium-low heat until the celery is tender, about 8 minutes. Drain the vegetables in a colander set in the sink, and set aside.
  • Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, and cook the onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in 2/3 cup of flour, salt, black pepper, celery seed, onion powder, and Italian seasoning; slowly whisk in the chicken broth and milk until the mixture comes to a simmer and thickens. Remove from heat; stir the cooked vegetables and turkey meat into the filling until well combined.
  • Fit 2 pie crusts into the bottom of 2 9-inch pie dishes. Spoon half the filling into each pie crust, then top each pie with another crust. Pinch and roll the top and bottom crusts together at the edge of each pie to seal, and cut several small slits into the top of the pies with a sharp knife to release steam.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the crusts are golden brown and the filling is bubbly, 30 to 35 minutes. If the crusts are browning too quickly, cover the pies with aluminum foil after about 15 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.

EASY TURKEY POT PIE



Easy Turkey Pot Pie image

This pot pie relies on store-bought puff pastry and leftover turkey to give the cook in the family a break after Thanksgiving. But it's not only for the post-holiday lull: use leftover chicken or turkey any time of the year for an easy weeknight dinner.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour, plus additional for dusting
3 cups turkey or chicken stock
2 sprigs rosemary
4 sprigs thyme
Kosher salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 medium onion, cut into ½-inch dice
2 ribs celery, cut into ½-inch dice
2 carrots, peeled and cut into ½-inch dice
2 cups cooked turkey, cut into ½-inch dice
1 sheet store-bought puff pastry, defrosted
1 large egg yolk
1 tablespoon Water

Steps:

  • Filling: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a Dutch oven over low heat, melt the butter. Sprinkle in the flour and cook, whisking, about 1 minute. Whisk in a few tablespoons of stock; when incorporated, continue to slowly whisk in the rest of the stock, a little at a time. (Using small additions of liquid and whisking constantly will prevent lumps.) When all the stock has been added, increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil.
  • Meanwhile, remove the rosemary and thyme leaves from their stems by pinching the top of the sprig and pulling straight down. Finely chop the leaves and set aside. Continue boiling the sauce, whisking often, until it's thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon, about 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low. Add onion, celery, carrots, turkey, thyme, and rosemary. Stir to thoroughly combine, then season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Assembly: On a clean work surface dusted with flour, roll out the pastry into a 12-inch square; set aside. Use a slotted spoon to transfer filling to a 9-inch square baking pan. (The slotted spoon allows you to control the amount of liquid that is added to the baking pan.) Lay the pastry evenly over the pan. Fold the excess dough back under itself inside the pan; you can also trim and discard some of the dough as needed. Use a paring knife to make 4 or 5 slits in the top of the pastry to allow steam to escape.
  • Add an egg yolk to a small bowl, and whisk in water. Brush the egg wash evenly over the top of the puff pastry. Set the baking pan on a rimmed baking sheet to catch any spills, then bake until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling, 15-20 minutes. Remove from oven and let stand for about 5 minutes 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.)

Provided by cookthekitchen

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Savory Pie Recipes     Pot Pie Recipes     Turkey Pot Pie Recipes

Time 2h35m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 21

4 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 ⅓ cups cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup ice water, or as needed
2 carrots, peeled and diced
¼ cup unsalted butter
2 stalks celery, diced
1 onion, diced
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
3 cloves garlic, minced
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
2 cups turkey stock
½ cup red wine
3 cups diced cooked turkey
½ cup canned peas, drained
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
1 pinch sea salt to taste
1 pinch freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • To make the crust, whisk 4 1/2 cups of flour with 1 teaspoon of salt in a bowl, then mash the 1/2-inch pieces of cold unsalted butter into the flour mixture with your fingers until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Stir in ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the mixture gathers together into a smooth dough and all the flour is incorporated. Form the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Bring a saucepan filled with water to a boil, and cook the carrots until they just begin to soften, about 2 minutes; transfer the carrots with a slotted spoon into a bowl of ice water to stop them from cooking. Heat 1/4 cup of unsalted butter over medium heat in a large pot, and cook the celery and onion until the onion begins to turn translucent, about 3 minutes; stir in mushrooms and garlic, and cook until the mushrooms have given up their juice and the vegetables are tender, about 8 more minutes. Whisk 1/3 cup of flour into the pot, then gradually whisk the turkey stock and red wine into the flour. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-low heat, and simmer until the gravy thickens, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in the turkey meat, canned peas, parsley, thyme, oregano, sage, sea salt, and black pepper, and allow the mixture to simmer another 5 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Divide the dough in half, and roll each half into an 11-inch circle on a floured work surface. Fit one crust into a 10-inch pie dish; trim away excess dough.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the bottom crust begins to turn brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the pie dish from the oven, fill the crust with the hot turkey and vegetable filling, and place the top crust onto the pie dish. Fold the edge of the crust over the pie dish, press to seal the 2 crusts together, and cut several steam holes into the top crust.
  • Return pie to the oven, and bake until the top crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling, about 30 more minutes. Let cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
