After Christmas Turkey Pot Pie Or Chicken Food

TURKEY POT PIE

Steps:

• In a medium skillet, melt butter and add carrots, potatoes, onion and celery. Cook, stirring often, over medium heat, until nearly tender, about 10-15 minutes.
• Stir in garlic, salt, parsley, thyme and pepper and cook for 1 minute.
• Stir in flour until no white can be seen.
• Add turkey, broth, and peas. Simmer over medium heat until gravy has thickened to your liking and vegetables are tender. This is a great time to taste test and adjust seasonings.
• Pour into a lightly greased pie plate and top with puff pastry. Trim puff pastry along the inside of the pie plate or dish you are using -- this is important for even cooking!
• Whisk together egg and water and brush over top of puff pastry (not all of it will be used -- this step can be omitted).
• Bake at 400 degrees F for 30-40 minutes, until puff pastry is golden brown. Serve.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

• Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, and cook the onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in 2/3 cup of flour, salt, black pepper, celery seed, onion powder, and Italian seasoning; slowly whisk in the chicken broth and milk until the mixture comes to a simmer and thickens. Remove from heat; stir the cooked vegetables and turkey meat into the filling until well combined.
• Fit 2 pie crusts into the bottom of 2 9-inch pie dishes. Spoon half the filling into each pie crust, then top each pie with another crust. Pinch and roll the top and bottom crusts together at the edge of each pie to seal, and cut several small slits into the top of the pies with a sharp knife to release steam.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the crusts are golden brown and the filling is bubbly, 30 to 35 minutes. If the crusts are browning too quickly, cover the pies with aluminum foil after about 15 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.
