Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

2 tablespoons (28 grams) unsalted butter
2 tablespoons (30 grams) olive oil
1 red bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
1 large carrot, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
2 cups (290 grams) fresh English peas
1 cup (165 grams) fresh corn kernels, from about 2 cobs
1 teaspoon (1 gram) dried thyme
1/4 cup (30 grams) all-purpose flour
2 cups (480 milliliters) chicken broth
1/2 cup (120 milliliters) heavy cream
2 cups roast turkey meat picked off bone and broken into bite-size pieces
Salt and pepper, to taste
3 cups (360 grams) all-purpose flour, plus for dusting the work surface
1 teaspoon (6 grams) salt
1 tablespoon (11 grams) sugar
1 tablespoon (15 grams) baking powder
1/2 cup (100 grams) vegetable shortening, frozen, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/2 cup (100 grams) unsalted butter, chilled, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 cup (240 milliliters) low-fat buttermilk
1 large egg
2 teaspoons fresh thyme, minced
Egg wash (1 egg whisked with 2 tablespoons water)
Coarse sea salt, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • To make the filling: In a large (14-inch) ovenproof skillet, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the bell pepper, onion, carrot, and garlic and saute until soft.
  • Stir in the peas, corn and thyme. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and then add the chicken broth and cream. Stir to distribute the flour and the liquids. Simmer until the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes. Stir in the turkey and add salt and pepper to taste. Set the mixture aside to cool slightly.
  • To make the biscuit top crust: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder. Whisk for thirty seconds to combine and evenly distribute the leavening. Add the shortening and butter and toss to coat the fat a bit with the flour. Using your fingertips, gently work the fats into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal with some pea-size chunks of fat.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg, and add this to the flour mixture. Stir together with a wooden spoon. Then, gently work through the mixture with your hands to separate any wet patches and bring the dough together.
  • Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface, sprinkle with the minced thyme and knead gently until it just holds together. Pat it into a rough 1/2-inch-tall disk and cut it into 7 biscuits using a 3-inch round biscuit cutter. (Bake off the scraps and use for croutons in the Broccoli Salad recipe.)
  • To assemble: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Top the filling in the skillet with the biscuit rounds. Brush the tops with egg wash and sprinkle them with sea salt.
  • Bake the potpie for 25 to 30 minutes, until the filling is bubbling and the biscuits are golden brown.

4 (9 inch) frozen pie crusts, thawed
1 cup frozen corn

Tips:

  • To ensure your potpie crust is flaky and golden brown, use a combination of butter and shortening. The butter adds flavor, while the shortening helps create a tender and flaky crust.
  • Don't overcrowd the potpie filling. If you add too much filling, the potpie will be difficult to assemble and the crust may not cook evenly.
  • If you don't have any fresh sage, you can use dried sage instead. However, be sure to use only 1/2 teaspoon of dried sage, as it is more concentrated than fresh sage.
  • To make sure your potpie is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of the filling. If the toothpick comes out clean, the potpie is done.

Conclusion:

Sage turkey potpie is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. The combination of turkey, vegetables, and sage creates a flavorful and savory filling, while the flaky crust adds a perfect finishing touch. Whether you're looking for a hearty meal for your family or a dish to impress your guests, sage turkey potpie is sure to be a hit.
