After a few weeks in hiaitus, we're back again in Linda's kitchen to give you another mouth-watering recipe for you to enjoy especally this holiday season. Today we'll be bringing to you the last turkey recipe we have for this series - turkey potpie.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 cups all- purpose flour
- 3 - 4 tablespoons for water
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup cheddar cheese, finely shredded
- 2/3 cup shortening
- 1 tablespoon cold butter
For the filling:
- 1 cup peeled potates, cubed
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ½ cup carrots, thinly sliced
- ¼ teaspoon dried tarragon
- 1/3 cup celery, chopped
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup onion
- ½ cup frozen corn, thawed
- 1 tablespoon butter
- ½ cup frozen peas, thawed
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 – ½ cups cooked turkey, cubed
- 1 cup chicken broth
- ½ cup 2% milk
- 2 tablespoons all- purpose flour
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Mix flour and salt using a food processor. Let it pulse to blend. In the mixture, include cheese and pulse again to develop fine crumbs.
- Butter and shortening should be added to form coarse crumbs from the mixture.
- Pour water carefully into the mixture while processing. Keep the water coming until the dough can be formed into a ball.
- Make two balls with the dough, one larger than the other. Use plastic wrap to cover the two dough balls. 30 minutes of refrigeration are required
- While waiting, prepare a saucepan and get started with the filling. 5 minutes are needed to saute the following in butter: celery, carrots, potatoes and onions. After this, include garlic in the mix and cook for another minute.
- Cook the vegetables into the broth for at least 10 minutes until the ingredients are tender.
- Mix flour and milk. Pour this into the vegetables in the saucepan. Boil and cook the mixture for 2 minutes, or wait for it to thicken.
- Stir the mixture and gradually add the remaining items in the filling ingredients. 5 minutes of simmering is needed.
- Retrieve the larger dough ball and knead it to fit a 9 inch pie plate. Trim the dough and pour the hot turkey mixture in the crust. Get the smaller ball and roll it on top of the mixture to cover the pie.
- Seal the edges. Flute if necessary.
- Make decorative cutouts if you have specialized cutters for pies.
- Put the pie plate in the oven and bake at 350 degreesCelsius. A total of 35 – 40 minutes is needed to get the right golden brown crusting.
