Shortcut Turkey Pot Pies
Transform your leftover turkey into this satisfying, easy-to-make comfort food
Ingredients (Serves 6)
| 3 cups |
shredded cooked turkey or chicken |
| ½ cup |
gravy or chicken stock |
| 2 cups |
chopped cooked vegetables |
| 2 cups |
mashed potatoes or root vegetable purée |
| 1 |
egg, whisked |
| 2 |
sheets butter puff pastry, thawed |
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. In a bowl, combine turkey, gravy and chopped vegetables. Divide mixture into six 1-cup ramekins (4 inches round), top each with mashed potato, and season with salt and pepper.
- Unroll pastry and cut each sheet into four 5-inch squares, brush ramekin edges with egg wash and top with a pastry square, pressing lightly to seal. Do not trim. Tip: Use remaining pastry to make decorative shapes on pies.
- Cut a slit in the centre to allow steam to escape and brush with remaining egg wash. Transfer to a sheet pan and bake until pastry is golden and pies are heated through, about 20 minutes. Serve with cranberry sauce and greens.
