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.

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.

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.)

Tips:

  • To make the pot pie filling, you can use leftover turkey, chicken, or beef. If using turkey, be sure to remove the skin and bones before cooking.
  • You can use a variety of vegetables in the pot pie filling, such as carrots, celery, onions, peas, and corn. You can also add other ingredients, such as mushrooms, potatoes, or hard-boiled eggs.
  • To make the pot pie crust, you can use a pre-made pie crust or make your own. If making your own, you can use a variety of flours, such as all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, or gluten-free flour.
  • To assemble the pot pie, simply place the filling in a baking dish, top with the crust, and bake until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  • You can serve the pot pie with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.

Conclusion:

After Christmas turkey pot pie is a delicious and easy way to use up leftover turkey. It's a hearty and comforting meal that's perfect for a cold winter day. With a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious pot pie that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you have leftover turkey, be sure to give this recipe a try.
