Mini Pot Pies With Leftover Stuffing
Description
This recipe layers mashed potatoes and turkey stuffing in a small pot pie dish or cocotte with turkey gravy dolloped between layers for moisture. The top is covered with a round of sheet puff pastry, sealed at the edges, and vented for steam. An egg wash brushes the top to help develop a shiny, golden finish.
Baked at 385°F for about 20 minutes, the puff pastry puffs up and browns nicely, contrasting flaky crust with the soft filling. These mini pot pies make a portion-sized comfort dish from leftovers.
Amounts can be adjusted depending on leftovers available. The method works similarly in regular pie dishes and yields a comforting way to repurpose cooked turkey and mashed potatoes after a meal.
Ingredients
- 1 cup mashed potatoes leftover
- 1 cup turkey stuffing Greek, leftover
- ½ cup turkey gravy
- 1 heet puff pastry
Instructions
- Add a tablespoon of gravy to the pot of the cocotte.
- Fill up half of the cocotte with mashed potatoes. Add a teaspoon of gravy on top.
- Fill up the rest of the cocotte with stuffing. If stuffing is too dry, add a teaspoon of gravy on top.
- Cut a round piece a little bigger than the pot and cover it. Press with a fork on the edges to seal it. Make a cut with a sharp knife in the middle to let steam escape.
- Beat the egg with one tablespoon of water. Brush top with egg wash.
- Bake mini pies in a 385°F oven for 20 minutes or until the pastry has puffed up and has developed a nice golden color.
Notes
- Adjust ingredient amounts depending on your leftover quantities; the recipe is flexible.
- Mini pies can be made in cocottes or regular pie dishes using the same layering method.
- Use a couple of tablespoons of gravy between layers to add moisture if leftovers are dry.
- Brushing with an egg wash before baking ensures a golden, glossy puff pastry top.
- Baking time is about 20 minutes at 385°F or until pastry is puffed and golden.
