Description
Individual pot pies featuring tender leftover turkey, tart cranberries, and mixed vegetables in creamy sage sauce, all wrapped in golden, flaky pastry. Perfect for transforming holiday leftovers into gourmet individual servings.
Ingredients
3 cups cooked turkey, diced
2 refrigerated pie crusts
1 cup frozen mixed vegetables, thawed
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon dried sage
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Cooking spray for ramekins
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 425°F and spray 6 ramekins with cooking spray.
2. Roll out pie crusts and cut circles for tops and bottoms of ramekins.
3. Line each ramekin with pastry circle, pressing into bottom and sides.
4. Melt butter in large saucepan over medium heat.
5. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute to create roux.
6. Gradually add chicken broth and cream, whisking until smooth.
7. Cook until mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes, stirring constantly.
8. Stir in turkey, mixed vegetables, cranberries, sage, salt, and pepper.
9. Divide filling evenly among pastry-lined ramekins.
10. Top each with pastry circle and crimp edges to seal.
11. Brush tops with beaten egg and cut small vents in each.
12. Bake 25-30 minutes until golden brown and filling bubbles.
13. Cool for 10 minutes before serving to prevent burns.
Notes
Use any combination of leftover turkey – both white and dark meat work well.
Pre-bake pastry shells 5 minutes if filling seems very wet.
Can be assembled ahead and refrigerated up to 24 hours before baking.
Freeze unbaked pot pies up to 3 months, bake from frozen adding 10-15 minutes.
Individual ramekins should be about 6-ounce capacity for best results.
