Yield Makes 4 main-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

For filling
1 small tomato
1 small onion, finely chopped (1/2 cup)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 large white mushrooms, finely chopped (1/4 cup)
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 1/4 cups finely chopped cooked turkey
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
For cream puff
3/4 cup water
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup all-purpose flour, sifted after measuring
4 large eggs, at room temperature for 30 minutes
3 oz Swiss cheese, cut into 1/4-inch dice (about 3/4 cup)
2 tablespoons finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (using a Microplane rasp)
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard powder

Steps:

  • Make filling:
  • Using a sharp knife, cut a shallow X in bottom of tomato and immerse in a saucepan of boiling water 10 seconds. Immediately transfer tomato with a slotted spoon to a bowl of ice and cold water to cool, then drain. Peel, seed, and finely chop tomato.
  • Cook onion in butter with salt in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 4 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms begin to brown, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle with flour and cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute, then stir in broth and bring to a boil over moderate heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring, 1 minute (sauce will be thick). Remove from heat and stir in turkey, parsley, chopped tomato, and pepper to taste.
  • Make cream puff dough:
  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Bring water to a boil with butter and salt in a 1 1/2- to 2-quart heavy saucepan. Reduce heat to low and add flour all at once, then stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until dough forms a ball and pulls away from sides of pan, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and stir vigorously for 1 minute more to release steam, then beat in 3 eggs, 1 at a time, beating until incorporated after each addition. Stir in Swiss cheese, 1 tablespoon parmesan, and mustard, then spread dough with dampened hands into a buttered 9-inch pie plate. Create a 6-inch-wide hole in center by pulling dough toward edge of pie plate, then mound filling in hole. Push dough 1 inch up sides of filling, leaving top of filling exposed. Lightly beat remaining egg and brush some over dough (reserve remainder for another use), then sprinkle with remaining tablespoon parmesan.
  • Bake pie until dough is puffed and golden, about 40 minutes, then cut 4 slits with a small knife around side of dough to release steam and bake 10 minutes more. Let pie stand 5 minutes before serving.

This recipe is a keeper! I've made it several times now, and it's always a hit. The crust is flaky and buttery, and the filling is rich and creamy. I highly recommend it.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pie didn't turn out as good as I expected. The crust was a bit too dry, and the filling was a bit too runny.

This pie was a bit too rich for my taste, but my husband loved it. The crust was good, but the filling was a bit too heavy for me.

This pie was easy to make and turned out great! I used a store-bought pie crust to save time, and the filling was very flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of turkey, but I'm so glad I did! The turkey flavor was very subtle, and the pie was absolutely delicious. I will definitely be making this again.

This turkey cream puff pie was a hit at my Thanksgiving dinner! The flaky crust and creamy filling were perfect, and the turkey flavor was subtle but delicious. I will definitely be making this again next year.
