Turkey Pie
Description
The pie filling blends shredded turkey with diced onion, crushed garlic, sliced leek, diced carrot, and mushrooms sautéed together, along with chopped ham and sweetcorn. This mixture is enriched by vegetable stock, reduced-fat crème fraîche, mature cheddar cheese, Dijon mustard, and herbs like marjoram and oregano. The filling is transferred to a baking dish and covered evenly with mashed sweet potatoes made from boiled sweet potato combined with milk, butter, salt, and pepper.
The pie is baked at 200°C (400°F) for around 30 minutes until hot throughout. Afterwards, additional mature cheddar is sprinkled on top, and the dish is placed under the grill until the cheese melts and bubbles, adding a savory crust. This layering emphasizes a contrast between the soft creamy filling and the smooth, lightly crisped topping.
Turkey pie serves as a filling, warming meal perfect for using up turkey leftovers. Variations include adding stuffing or roasted vegetables for heartiness or substituting the topping with filo pastry for crispness. Leftover chicken can be used instead of turkey, or fresh roasted breasts shredded if leftovers are unavailable.
