Turkey Pot Pie Ingredients:
three-four pound turkey, cut into sections or pieces
Pie dough (see below)
1/4 cup butter
Salt and pepper
1 cup milk (do not use non-fat milk)
4 cups of turkey stock
8" baking dish or pie pan
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Put the pieces of turkey in a large pot and add just enough water to cover the top of the turkey. Bring to a boil and then lower the heat to medium-low and slowly boil until the meat is tender. While the turkey cooks, you may prepare the pie dough and grease the baking dish.
Cut the pie dough in half and then roll out one half to just about 1/8 inch thick. Gingerly place the rolled out dough in the bottom of the dish. If there is any leftover dough, cut it from the edges of the dish and reserve.
Place shredded turkey in the pan and also any remaining pie dough. If possible, layer the turkey and the remaining dough. Add the milk and evenly distribute with two tablespoons of butter. Sprinkle with salt/pepper to taste.
Next take the second half of the pie dough and roll into a long 1/4 inch thick rectangle. Cut the remaining two tablespoons of butter into tiny pats and distribute along the dough. Fold the pie dough into thirds and roll out. Repeat. This will ensure that the butter is blended into the dough. Roll out into a thin circle and drape the bottom half of the pie. Pinch the edges together and then slice a hole in the top to let hot air to escape.
Bake the turkey pot pie in your oven for 35-45 min until the juices bubble and the crust is golden brown.
Pie Dough Ingredients
2 cups of flour
1 tsp salt
1 cup butter, diced into small pieces or shortening
3/4 cup of ice water
To Prepare:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt and then work the butter lightly into
the flour using either two forks or a pastry blender. When the flour mixture resembles coarse meal, slowly pour in the ice water and combine just until the pie dough can hold together. Don't over mix, or else the pie dough will get "gummy". Cover in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 60 min in order to "relax".
