Turkey Pot Pie A La Kat Recipes

Steps:

• Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a large saucepan and add the cubed onion, sweat until transparent without coloration. Add the peppers, carrots, and celery and sweat for 1 to 2 minutes on medium heat. Sprinkle the flour on the vegetable/butter mixture and mix well until the flour seems to disappear. Cook for one or two minutes to remove the raw flour taste and add the cold milk a little at a time while whisking energetically. Add salt, pepper, dry herbs, mustard and mix well. Add the thawed corn and the tomatoes at the last minute and set aside.
• Cube the turkey meat in medium sized cubes and season with salt and pepper. Melt one tablespoon of butter in a frying pan and sear the meat on medium heat until you get a golden color. Remove the turkey, let it drain on paper towels and add it to the vegetable and the sauce.
• Melt the brown bits from the frying pan with some water and add to the sauce. Check the seasoning and set aside.
• Butter an oven-proof dish with the remaining butter, add the turkey/vegetable/sauce mixture. Roll the dough out, cut some slits on top, both for decor and to allow the steam to escape when baking. Place the dough on the stew making sure it comes slightly up the sides of the dish.
• Place the yolk of the egg in a small dish and add 1 tablespoon cold water, mix and brush the top of the crust. Bake in an oven pre-heated to 400 degrees. Cook for 30 to 40 minutes until the crust is nice and brown and then serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Melt butter in saucepan and cook chopped onion until tender. Stir in celery and carrots and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in flour and cook for 2 minutes. Add chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Add potatoes and simmer until tender. Stir in turkey, parsley and peas. Pour mixture into casserole. Top with pie crust and brush with egg. Bake for 30 minutes until crust is golden.

Steps:

• Make the Biscuits:
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. While stirring with a wooden spoon, slowly pour the cream into the center of the bowl, and continue mixing until a dough just forms. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and roll into a 3/4-inch thick rectangle. Cut the dough into 6 large, equal-sized squares and transfer them to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate until ready to use. (The biscuit may be prepared up to a day in advance.)
• Make the Filling:
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the turkey breast in large roasting pan, cover with the chicken stock, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Roast until just cooked through and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the breast reads 165 degrees F. Transfer the turkey breast to plate and let cool. Pull the turkey into small pieces and set aside.
• Transfer the chicken stock to a saucepan, bring to a boil, and reduce to 1 1/2 cups.
• Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a small saucepan. In another roasting pan, toss together the carrot, rutabaga, parsnip, and turnip with the butter and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Roast until browned and tender, about 35 to 40 minutes.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until translucent, about 6 to 8 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes. Add the reduced chicken stock, bring to boil, lower the heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
• While the sauce is simmering, bake the biscuits until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
• Stir the cream into the sauce and return to a boil. Stir in the pulled turkey, roasted vegetables, onion-mushroom mixture, thyme, and parsley. Season the filling with salt and pepper, to taste. (The filling may be prepared up to 3 days in advance, and reheated before serving.)
• Divide the hot filling among 6 warmed 12-inch wide bowls. Place a biscuit in the center of each and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Roll out bottom pie crust and place in the 10 inch pie pan and set aside.
• Place 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet. Add the onion, celery, carrots, parsley, oregano, salt and pepper. Cook and stir until the vegetables are soft. Stir in the bouillon and water. Bring mixture to a boil. Stir in the potatoes, and cook until tender but still firm.
• In a medium saucepan, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Stir in the turkey and flour. Add the milk, and heat through. Stir the turkey mixture into the vegetable mixture, and cook until thickened. Pour mixture into the unbaked pie shell. Roll out the top crust, and place on top of filling. Flute edges, and make 4 slits in the top crust to let out steam.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue baking for 20 minutes, or until crust is golden brown.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Place the peas and carrots, green beans, and celery into a saucepan; cover with water, bring to a boil, and simmer over medium-low heat until the celery is tender, about 8 minutes. Drain the vegetables in a colander set in the sink, and set aside.
• 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.
