This recipe is great for using up leftover turkey meat from Thanksgiving or Christmas. Hopefully you have been lucky enough to roast a wild turkey this holiday season, but If not, domestic turkey will work just fine.
Ingredients:
Pastry for one 9-inch pie
2 cups chopped cooked turkey meat
1 cup sliced carrots, cooked
3/4 cup peas, cooked
1/2 cup chopped uncooked asparagus (optional)
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 tsp thyme
1/2 tsp sage
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tsp salt
3 tbsp butter
3 tbsp flour
3/4 cup cream
Directions:
Preheat oven to 420 degrees. Melt the butter in a pan, add the flour and cook until the mixture bubbles and thickens. Add the cream and cook until the sauce thickens. Stir in the spices, vegetables, and meat and set aside to cool.
Lightly oil a 9-inch pie pan and line with pastry. Add the filling and cover with the remaining pastry. Flute the edges, and cut a few slices in the top to vent the pie. Place in the oven and cook until the mixture starts to bubble through the vents. Remove and cool for at least 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
