Sarasotas Non Traditional Chicken Or Turkey Pot Pie Recipes

FAST AND EASY TURKEY POT PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line an 8-inch pie dish with 1 pastry crust; set the other crust aside.
• In a bowl, mix together the turkey, cream of chicken soup, seasoned salt and pepper, Cheddar cheese, and mixed vegetables. Pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish. Top the pie with the remaining pie crust, then pinch and fold the edges of the crusts together to seal. Cut a slit into the top of the pie crust with a sharp knife to vent the steam.

CATHA'S INDIVIDUAL TURKEY POT PIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Melt butter in a large, 12-inch saute pan over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until just soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add potatoes, carrots, celery, and mushrooms and cook for another 4 minutes. Stir in garlic; cook for 1 minute. Add flour, thyme, sage, salt, and pepper; cook and stir for 1 minute more. Reduce heat to medium-low and slowly stir in chicken broth in order to avoid lumps. Bring back up to a simmer and cook until sauce thickens a bit, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in peas.
• Roll each portion of pie dough out to 1/8-inch thickness. Prepare 8 individual tins or crocks by placing one, upside-down, on the dough to imprint the size needed. Cut out 8 tops; make 4 to 5 small slits in each with a knife for venting. Set aside. Use remaining dough scraps to line the bottom of the tins/crocks.
• Fill the 8 crust-lined tins with 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups of pot pie filling. Lay the prepared crust tops over the filling and seal with your fingers or the tines of a fork.
• Bake in the preheated oven until crusts are golden and filling is bubbly, about 30 minutes. Let cool for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

SARASOTA'S NON-TRADITIONAL CHICKEN OR TURKEY POT PIE

Steps:

• Pot Pie Base -- Melt the butter in a large sauce pan over medium heat. Now, if you are using fresh chicken, cook the chicken in the butter until mostly done. Don't forget it is going to continue to cook in the oven. It should only take 4-5 minutes, then remove and set to the side.
• Now, if you are using pre cooked leftover chicken or turkey -- the first step is to add the onion, leeks, celery, garlic and mushrooms and cook 3-4 minutes until lightly sauteed on medium heat. Then add in the flour and cook 1-2 minutes to mix through. Then add in the chicken (either the leftovers, or the fresh chicken you just cooked), and slowly add the chicken broth, stirring well to combine. Remove from the heat and add the peas, basil, creme fraiche, salt and pepper. Note: If the broth is too thin (you want it the consistency of gravy), add a bit more flour mixed with water and slowly add in to the mixture. Just a little goes a long ways.
• Casserole -- In individual serving dishes if you have them or in a medium size casserole dish, spray with Pam and pour in your chicken and vegetables. Heat the oven to 375.
• Potato Topping -- Either make your own mashed potatoes or slightly reheat a store bought mashed potato. You will need approximately 4 cups. Add the creme fraiche, salt to taste (go easy -- the parmesan is salty), the parmesan cheese and parsley. Mix well and top over the chicken mixture. Top the potatoes with the remaining parmesan as a garnish.
• Bake -- 350 degrees on the medium shelf until bubbly and golden brown. About 20-30 minutes. Just enjoy!
