Best 2 Thanksgiving Pot Pie Recipes

THANKSGIVING POT PIE

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry with a floured rolling pin to 9 by 13 inches. Transfer to the lined baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate while preparing the pie filling.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the celery and onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook 2 minutes more. Add the turkey, broth, half-and-half, Brussels sprouts, stuffing mix, salt and pepper and stir to combine. Cook until the sauce begins to thicken, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Use a tablespoon to drop the cranberry sauce randomly over the mixture. Top with the puff pastry dough. Use a pastry brush to evenly coat the puff pastry with the egg. Using a paring knife, cut a few small vents in the center of the pie.
• Bake until the puff pastry is golden brown, about 45 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before cutting.

THANKSGIVING TURKEY POT PIE

Steps:

• 1. Heat butter in a large saucepan over medium heat until melted. Stir in flour and cook til bubbly and thickened. Add onion, thyme, salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture is thickened. Remove from heat. Stir in broth and milk. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Cook another minute or so longer. Stir in turkey and vegetables. Heat oven to 425ºF. Prepare the pastry. Put one pie crust in a 9 inch pie pan and fill with mixture. Put remaining crust over top and pinch together edges. Pierce with sharp knife or fork for steam to vent. Bake 35 - 40 minutes until golden brown and bubbling up through slits in crust. NOTE: Carrots and celery is awesome in here too... I was out of those 2 veggies so I used what I had.
• 2. Pie crust Combine flour with salt. Cut into flour and salt, the room temperature shortening with a pastry blender until mixture resembles large peas. Beat egg, water and vinegar together. Pour over flour mixture and stir with a fork until moistened. Divide dough in half. Flatten first half into a circle and roll out between 2 sheets of wax paper. *Doing the crust this way makes it tender as handling it too much will produce a tough crust. Remove the top sheet of wax paper and invert crust onto pie plate. Peel 2nd sheet of wax paper from the crust and fit crust into pan. Once your turkey mixture is in the pan invert crust over top of pie and seal edges.
