Rustic Turkey and Vegetable PieINGREDIENTS

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large carrot
  • 3 celery stalks
  • 1 medium yellow onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • Salt and pepper
  • 8 to 9 ounces cremini mushrooms
  • 1 pound ground dark meat turkey
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • The leaves from 4 stems of thyme
  • 1 sheet of frozen puff pastry, thawed but cold
  • Milk for brushing

PROCEDURE

Place 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a cold sauté pan.  Fit the food processor with the thick slicer attachment.  Quickly slice up the carrots, celery, onion, and garlic.  Turn the heat on under the sauté pan, and when the oil shimmers, add the vegetables and season with salt and pepper.  While the vegetables are sweating, slice the mushrooms in the same way on the food processor. When the vegetables are nice and soft, turn them out into a bowl and set aside.  Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the pan, and when it shimmers, add the ground turkey.  Season with salt and pepper and sauté until the pan is dry and the turkey begins to brown.  Add in the raw mushrooms, and the cooked vegetables.  Stir in the flour to coat everything in the pan.  Add the white wine, and the chicken stock, and Worcestershire sauce, and thyme.  While these cook together for 5 minutes, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Turn out the turkey mixture into your baking vessel: I find one rectangular baking dish to be easiest.  Brush the sides of the dish with milk, and drape the pastry tightly across, pressing gently into the milked sides (this will help the pastry stick).  Cut a slit for the steam to escape in the center of the pastry, and then brush all the pastry lightly with milk.  Place the pie on a rimmed baking dish to catch any spills, and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the pastry is puffed and golden.  Serve hot!print this recipe
