Categories     Thanksgiving     main dish     poultry

Time 1h

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 tbsp. butter
1/2 c. finely diced onion
1/2 c. finely diced carrot
1/2 c. finely diced celery
3 c. shredded cooked chicken or turkey
1/4 c. flour
3 c. low-sodium chicken broth, plus more if needed
Splash of white wine (optional)
1/4 tsp. turmeric
Salt and pepper, to taste
Chopped fresh thyme to taste
1/4 c. half-and-half or cream
1 whole unbaked pie crust
1 whole egg
2 tbsp. water

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Melt the butter in a large pot over medium-high heat, then add the onion, carrots, and celery. Stir them around until the onions start to turn translucent, about 3 minutes.
  • Stir in the chicken or turkey and then sprinkle the flour over the top and stir it until it's all combined with the turkey and vegetables. Cook for 1 minute, then pour in the chicken broth (and wine if using) and stir it around and let it cook and thicken.
  • Once it starts to thicken add the turmeric, salt, pepper, and thyme.
  • Add the half-and-half or cream, then stir the mixture and let it bubble up and thicken, about 3 minutes. If it seems overly thick, splash in a little more broth. Turn off the heat.
  • Pour the filling into a 2-quart baking dish. Roll out the pie crust on a floured surface and lay it over the top of the dish. Press the dough so that the edges stick to the outside of the pan. Use a knife to cut little vents here and there in the surface of the dough.
  • Mix together the egg with 2 tablespoons water and brush it all over the surface of the crust. (You will have some egg wash left over.)
  • Place the pie on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the crust is deep golden brown and the filling is bubbly. To prevent the crust from getting too brown, you might want to cover it lightly with foil for the first 15 minutes of baking time.
  • Serve up servings by the (big ol') spoonful!

Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled), plus more for work surface
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3 to 5 tablespoons ice water
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion, diced small (1 1/2 cups)
4 medium carrots, diced small (2 cups)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup frozen peas
Coarse salt and ground pepper
3 cups shredded cooked chicken (15 ounces)
1/3 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Make the crust: In a food processor, pulse together flour, sugar, and salt. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal, with a few pea-size pieces of butter remaining. Sprinkle with 3 tablespoons ice water. Pulse until dough is crumbly but holds together when squeezed (if necessary, add up to 2 tablespoons ice water); do not overmix.
  • Form dough into a disk, wrap tightly in plastic, and refrigerate until firm, 1 hour or overnight (or freeze, up to 1 month).
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Make the filling: In a large pot, melt butter over medium-high. Add onion and carrots and cook until softened, 8 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add flour and stir to coat vegetables.
  • Slowly add broth, whisking constantly until sauce is smooth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until thickened, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in peas. Season with salt and pepper, then stir in chicken and parsley. Pour filling into a 2-quart baking dish.
  • On a floured work surface, roll out dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Place dough over dish and fold overhang inward while pinching to crimp edge. Cut vents in dough. Place dish on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling around edge, 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes before serving.
