Recipe: The Creamiest Turkey Pot Pie




4.9 stars
Bon Appetit Magazine, Nov 2022, p. 65

We've been eating more plant-based meals but had some smoked turkey in the freezer back from the holidays. I'd been wanting to make a pot pie so decided to try this recipe which was excellent -- with our modifications below. Can't wait to eat the leftovers!

Ingredients: puff pastry, turkey, potato, onion, frozen mixed vegetables, garlic, all-purpose flour, American cheese, parsley, butter, extra-virgin olive oil, egg, flaky sea salt, Kosher salt, pepper

Tips/Notes:
  • Used 2 potatoes instead of 1
  • Used fresh carrots (4) and celery stalks (5) and frozen peas instead of a bag of frozen vegetables
  • Used shredded cheddar (about 4 oz) instead of American cheese (Note: Can't taste the cheese ~ it gives creaminess to the dish)
  • Added 5 sprigs of thyme
  • Added cayenne
  • Put a sheetpan in the oven in case the pot pie bubbles over
  • Watch for doneness in the final 10 minutes of baking as it can overbrown
