Ingredients
For the filling
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 yellow onion , finely diced
- 2 celery ribs , finely diced
- 2 carrots , peeled and diced
- 100 g (scant ½ cup) chopped bacon or leftover ham
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp garlic paste
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp dried tarragon or mixed Italian herbs
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 2 tsp flour or 1 tsp Xanthan Gum
- 240 ml (1 cup) hot chicken stock or leftover gravy
- 240 ml (1 cup) cream
- 3 tbsp dried cranberries chopped
- 2 tbsp grated parmesan
- 450 g (1 pound) shredded roast turkey or chicken
For the topping
- 2 packs ready rolled puff pastry (please see notes)
- 1 egg , lightly beaten
- 2 tbsp grated parmesan
- pinch grated nutmeg
Instructions
Make the pie filling
- Preheat the oven to 200C (400F). Heat butter until it is sizzling. Add the onions, celery and carrots and cook over low heat, stirring, until slightly softened.
- Add the bacon or ham, mustard and garlic and stir to combine. Cook for a couple of minutes.
- Stir in the salt, pepper, tarragon and flour. Pour in the chicken stock and cream and simmer until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Add the cranberries, Parmesan and shredded turkey and stir to coat in the sauce.
Add the topping and bake
- Transfer the filling into an ovenproof ceramic dish or a pie dish. Spread it out and level.
- Cut the pastry into star shapes (or any shapes you like!) and overlap over the filling, brushing with beaten egg, until the pie dish is covered. You can use a single sheet of puff pastry to cover your turkey pot pie if you prefer, scoring the top to allow for steam to escape.
- Sprinkle with grated Parmesan and grated nutmeg and bake (on a tray in case of spills) for 30-35 minutes or until the pastry is golden and filling is bubbling.
- Cool slightly before serving with a salad or steamed greens.
Notes
- You can use a single sheet of puff pastry to top your pie. If you want to cut star shapes as I have done you will need two packs of ready rolled pastry.
- Any leftovers can be baked brushed with egg wash and sprinkled with Parmesan and paprika for 14 minutes at 200C (400F). Serve as snacks or with soup!
