GROUND TURKEY POT PIE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Melt butter in a skillet or dutch oven. Add onion, carrots, and celery, and cook until translucent (a couple of minutes.) Add turkey and stir. Sprinkle flour over mixture and stir. Cook over medium heat for a couple of minutes, stirring constantly. Pour in chicken or turkey broth, stirring constantly. Splash in wine (you can leave this out if you’d like.) Pour in cream. (May add frozen peas at this point if you’d like.) Bring to a slow boil and allow mixture to cook and thicken for a few minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste (do not underseason), and fresh or dried thyme to taste. Do one final taste at the end and add what it needs. Pour mixture into a casserole dish or deep pie pan. Roll out crust so that it’s about 1 inch larger than the pan you’re using. Place the crust on top of the pot pie mixture, and press crust into the sides of the dish. Cut vents in the top of the crust. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until very golden and bubbly and the crust is done. Allow to cool for a little bit before serving. Serve with a large spoon.

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a medium saucepan, cover with water, 1 tablespoon of salt as you would pasta water, and bring to a boil for about 16 to 18 minutes, or until tender.
• Drain, and return to saucepan, add 1/4 teaspoon salt, sour cream and mash with a potato masher, keep covered.
• Preheat oven to 375F with a rack in the center.
• Heat a large skillet and add oil over medium heat. Add the shallots, parsley, thyme and sage and cook until almost soft about 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add the celery and cook until the vegetables are soft, about 4 to 5 minutes.
• Add the frozen mixed vegetables, turkey, 2 cups turkey broth, 1/4 teaspoon salt and black pepper and bring to a boil. Stir and simmer over medium-low heat 8 to 10 minutes, stirring until the flavors meld.
• Meanwhile combine 2/3 cup turkey broth with the corn starch and mix well to dissolve. Add to the turkey and cook over medium-low heat, stirring until thickened, about 3 to 4 minutes.
• Remove from heat and transfer to an oven safe, deep 9 x 9-inch baking dish or deep round pie dish. Or make them in 4 individual broiler-safe 8 ounce ramekins.
• Place the mashed sweet potatoes over the turkey filling.
• Bake on a sheet pan 20 minutes, until heated through then finish under a broiler 2-3 minutes for extra color.
