Turkey and Sweet Leek Pie image

This is a Jamie Oliver recipe that is really simple and very tasty. I don't bother with the chestnuts in the pastry, just to save time. Great for leftover turkey from Christmas or Thanksgiving, but worth cooking some especially for it too. A lovely family recipe that everyone will enjoy.

Time 1h25m

Yield 1 Pie, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 slices steaky bacon, roughly chopped
1/2 bunch fresh thyme leave, picked
olive oil
1 slice butter
2 kg leeks, washed, trimmed, white end chopped into chunks, green end finely diced
sea salt
fresh ground black pepper
800 g cooked turkey, torn into big chunks
2 pints chicken stock or 2 pints vegetable stock
2 tablespoons plain flour
2 tablespoons creme fraiche or 2 tablespoons double cream
500 g puff pastry
12 chestnuts, roasted and peeled
2 sprigs fresh sage, leaves picked
1 egg, beaten

Steps:

  • Pre-heat the oven to 190°C/375°F/Gas 5.Put your bacon in a large pan on a medium heat and add the thyme leaves. Add a lug of olive oil and the butter and let it fry for a few minutes. Add all of the leeks and fry them for about 3 minutes so they are well coated in the butter. Add a pinch of salt and pepper, then pop the lid on, turn down the heat and let them cook away gently for 30 minutes, stirring every 5-10 minutes to ensure they don't catch.
  • When the leeks are ready, add the turkey and stir (if you have left over stuffing, throw that in too).Add the flour, mix it in well, then pour in the stock and stir again. Add the creme fraiche turn up the heat and bring to a boil. Taste and check the seasoning, then turn off the heat. Pour the mixture through a sieve over a large empty pan to let the wonderful gravy from the mixture drip into the pan.
  • Get a deep baking dish 22 x 30 cm. Roll out the pastry so that it's double the size of the dish. Crumble the chestnuts over half of the pastry then tear a few of the sage leaves over the chestnuts. Fold the other half over, and then roll it out carefully to fit your dish.
  • Spoon turkey mixture into pie dish (I add a little of the drained gravy just spooned gently over the top-but not too much).Lay the pastry on top and tuck the ends under. Gently score the pastry diagonally with a knife, then brush with beaten egg.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes. Heat up the strained off gravy and serve with the pie ( I thicken it very slightly with a mixture of water and cornflour).

This pie is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's easy to make and the leftovers are even better the next day. I'll definitely be adding this to my regular rotation.

I'm not a big fan of turkey, but I loved this pie! The leeks and creamy sauce really elevate the flavor. I'll definitely be making this again.

I had high hopes for this pie, but it was a bit disappointing. The crust was soggy and the filling was bland. I think I'll stick to my old turkey pie recipe.

The filling was a bit dry, but the flavor was good. I think I'll add some more liquid next time.

This pie was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning, or maybe some fresh herbs. I'll try it again with some modifications.

Just made this for dinner and it was delicious! I used a store-bought pie crust to save time, and it still turned out great. Definitely recommend this recipe.
