  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 15-20 minutes
  • Total Time: 25-30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups cooked turkey, diced or shredded
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups mixed frozen vegetables (carrots, peas, corn)
  • 1 cup chicken or turkey broth
  • 1 cup milk or cream
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Store-bought puff pastry sheets
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  3. Add the frozen vegetables to the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes until they are slightly thawed.
  4. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat. Cook for 1 minute to cook off the raw flour taste.
  5. Slowly pour in the chicken or turkey broth, followed by the milk or cream. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens and comes to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Add the diced or shredded turkey to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat the turkey through.
  7. Meanwhile, roll out the puff pastry sheets on a floured surface and cut them into squares or circles to fit your individual serving dishes or a single pie dish.
  8. Divide the turkey and vegetable mixture among the serving dishes or pour it into a single pie dish. Top with the puff pastry, pressing the edges to seal.
  9. Brush the puff pastry with beaten egg for a golden and glossy finish.
  10. Bake the pot pies in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.

Pair this with...

Cranberry Sauce

Grab a bag of fresh or frozen cranberries and toss them into a saucepan. Add in some sugar (or honey for a natural twist) to balance out the tartness. For a deeper flavor profile, zest and juice an orange into the mix. As everything simmers together on medium heat, the cranberries will burst and the sauce will thicken. Feel free to adjust the sweetness as you go. Once it's reached your desired consistency, let it cool down. The sauce will continue to gel as it cools. Transfer to a serving dish, and voilà, you have a homemade cranberry sauce that's both zesty and sweet.

Candied Yams

Start by peeling and slicing yams into thick rounds or wedges. In a saucepan, melt some butter and stir in brown sugar until you've got a smooth, velvety mixture. For a hint of spice, a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg is perfect. Place the yam slices in a baking dish, drizzle over the buttery sugar mixture, ensuring each slice gets its share of the sweet goodness. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) until the yams are tender and the sauce is bubbly and caramelized, which usually takes around 35-40 minutes. Serve them warm.

Easy Dinner Rolls

Start by combining warm water, yeast, and a bit of sugar in a bowl, letting it sit until it's frothy. In a larger bowl, mix together softened butter, salt, the rest of your sugar, and some milk. Slowly add in flour, mixing until you have a soft dough. Knead this dough on a floured surface until smooth. Place it in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise until doubled in size. Once risen, divide the dough into small balls and arrange them on a baking tray. Let them rise again briefly. Bake in a preheated oven until golden brown. Brush with melted butter right out of the oven for a glossy finish.
