Turkey Pot Pie Recipe
Turkey Pot Pie
Ingredients
- Pie crust Either 4 store bought- 2 tops and 2 bottoms, or check out my Easy No-Fail Pie Crust Recipe. You will need to double the recipe
- 3 pounds chopped turkey about 5 cups
- ½ an onion chopped
- ⅔ cup butter
- ⅔ cup flour
- 3½ cups chicken or turkey stock
- 1 cup milk
- 3 cups frozen mixed vegetables thawed
- 1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
- ½ teaspoon dried sage
- ¼ teaspoons ground black pepper
- pinch of garlic powder
- 1 egg beaten
Instructions
- Prepare pie crust using THIS RECIPE (double it). Refrigerate while you prepare the filling. If you're using store bought pie crust, make sure it's thawed.
- Melt butter in a stock pot over medium heat. Add onions and saute until they are translucent, about 3 minutes.
- Add flour and stir to combine. Continue cooking about 2 more minutes, so the flour mixture turns golden (but not browned).
- Slowly add in broth, about ⅓ cup at a time, constantly stirring. Slowly adding it will ensure there are no lumps.
- Add milk and stir. Continue cooking on medium heat, uncovered until sauce thickens. You should be stirring frequently to make sure it doesn't stick to the bottom.
- When sauce is thickened to the consistency of a medium-thick gravy, add turkey and mixed vegetables, and stir to combine.
- Add basil, sage, pepper, and garlic powder to the filling mixture and stir to combine. Take off heat and set aside.
- Press the top and bottom pie crust together (I use a fork for this part), and trim off the excess dough with a knife. Cut slits in the top to let heat and steam escape.
- With a pastry brush, brush beaten egg over top of pot pie.
- Bake in a 375° oven for 30 minutes, until the top pie crust is firm and browned. Take out of oven and cover with foil (to prevent the top crust from burning).
- Return to oven for another 30 minutes, until both crusts are firm and golden
- Take turkey pot pie out of oven and let sit 15-30 minutes to firm.
- Serve warm.
