Turkey And Vegetable Hand Pies Recipes

TURKEY AND VEGETABLE HAND PIES

Steps:

• In a food processor, combine flour, butter, baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal. While pulsing, gradually add ice water, until a dough begins to form. Turn onto a piece of plastic wrap, and pat into a 1-inch-thick square. Wrap, and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make filling: In a large skillet, heat oil over medium. Add onion, garlic, and carrot; cook, stirring occasionally, until carrot is tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Add turkey; cook, breaking up meat with a spoon, until no longer pink, 3 to 5 minutes. Add green beans and cream; cook until sauce is slightly thickened and green beans are tender, 2 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Cool to room temperature, about 10 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. On a lightly floured work surface, roll chilled dough into a 16-inch square; cut into 4 equal squares. Dividing evenly, place filling on one half of each square, leaving a 1/4-inch border around the filling. Brush border with water; fold dough over filling to enclose completely. Press edges to seal, then crimp with a fork. With the tip of a paring knife, cut 2 to 3 small vents on top. Transfer pies to two rimmed baking sheets; bake until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through.

TURKEY HAND PIES WITH BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND KALE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butternut squash and five-spice powder and cook until the squash is hot, about 2 minutes. Add the turkey, 1 teaspoon salt and a couple turns of pepper. Cook, stirring, until the turkey begins to brown, about 4 minutes. Stir in the kale and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the walnuts. Season with salt and pepper. Spread out on a rimmed baking sheet to cool.
• Unroll both sheets of the pie dough on a work surface. Cut each piece of dough into fourths for a total of 8 pieces. Spoon a rounded 1/4 cup of the filling onto half of each piece of dough. Fold the dough over the filling and crimp with a fork to make triangular hand pies. Whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon water, then brush the egg wash onto the pies.
• Put the pies at least 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the dough is lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Mix the sour cream, lemon juice, parsley and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Serve with the hand pies.

THANKSGIVING LEFTOVERS HAND PIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Roll out the pie crusts with a rolling pin on a lightly floured surface to 1/8 inch thick. Cut out rounds of dough with a 4 1/2-inch round biscuit cutter and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet. Gather and reroll the scraps if necessary; you should have a total of 12 rounds.
• Spread 1 teaspoon sweet potato in an even layer over half of each round, leaving a 1/4-inch border around the edge. Top each with 2 teaspoons stuffing, then 2 teaspoons turkey, and finally 1 teaspoon cranberry sauce. (You may redistribute some of the filling among the rounds so all the piles are even.) Whisk together the egg and milk in a small bowl to make an egg wash. Brush the egg wash around the edges of each dough round.
• Fold over each dough round to cover the filling, creating 12 half-moon shapes. With your fingers, press the edges together to seal, and then press with a fork to seal securely.
• Brush the top of each hand pie with the remaining egg wash. Make 3 small slits with a small paring knife on the top of each pie to let the steam escape. Bake until the dough is cooked through and golden brown, about 30 minutes. Serve warm with extra cranberry sauce and gravy on the side for dipping.

TURKEY-VEGETABLE POT PIE

Steps:

• In 12-inch skillet, heat 1 tablespoon butter and the oil over medium-high heat. Add carrot, sweet potato, parsnip and onion; cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and crisp-tender.
• In large bowl, stir together soup, milk, thyme, salt and pepper. Stir in turkey and cooked vegetables. Pour into baking dish.

TURKEY HAND PIES

Steps:

• Heat oil in a dutch oven (or heavy bottomed stock pot) over medium heat. Once hot, add onion, celery and carrots and cook until softened, about 10 minutes. Add garlic, and cook for 1 minute. Add wine and cook until it has reduced down almost completely.
• Add the salt, pepper, thyme, butter and flour. Cook while stirring, until the butter has fully melted. Slowly whisk in the stock, about ½ cup at a time, until it is all combined. Bring the gravy to a boil, and then reduce the heat to let it simmer.
• Add in the leftover turkey and veggies (if using frozen peas, wait to add them at the end) and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes.
• Shut off the heat, add in parsley and season to taste. Let cool completely before placing in pie.
• Roll out 1 disk of pie dough as thin as possible. Stamp out at least 8 4.5" circles from the dough. Pile the dough scraps on top of one another and roll out one more time, enough to get at least 2 more circles. Repeat this process with the other dough disk to yield roughly 20 dough circles.
• Brush water around the edges of 1 circle of pie dough. Place ¼ cup of turkey filling in the middle. Place a circle of pie dough over the top and press down on the edges to seal the two pieces together. Crimp the edges of the bottom to the top to further seal the pie and to add a decorative touch. Place the pies on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Repeat with the remaining dough circles. When finished place the sheet pan inside a freezer to chill, while the oven preheats.

ULTIMATE TURKEY POT PIE

Steps:

• To make the crust, whisk 4 1/2 cups of flour with 1 teaspoon of salt in a bowl, then mash the 1/2-inch pieces of cold unsalted butter into the flour mixture with your fingers until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Stir in ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the mixture gathers together into a smooth dough and all the flour is incorporated. Form the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Bring a saucepan filled with water to a boil, and cook the carrots until they just begin to soften, about 2 minutes; transfer the carrots with a slotted spoon into a bowl of ice water to stop them from cooking. Heat 1/4 cup of unsalted butter over medium heat in a large pot, and cook the celery and onion until the onion begins to turn translucent, about 3 minutes; stir in mushrooms and garlic, and cook until the mushrooms have given up their juice and the vegetables are tender, about 8 more minutes. Whisk 1/3 cup of flour into the pot, then gradually whisk the turkey stock and red wine into the flour. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-low heat, and simmer until the gravy thickens, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in the turkey meat, canned peas, parsley, thyme, oregano, sage, sea salt, and black pepper, and allow the mixture to simmer another 5 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Divide the dough in half, and roll each half into an 11-inch circle on a floured work surface. Fit one crust into a 10-inch pie dish; trim away excess dough.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the bottom crust begins to turn brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the pie dish from the oven, fill the crust with the hot turkey and vegetable filling, and place the top crust onto the pie dish. Fold the edge of the crust over the pie dish, press to seal the 2 crusts together, and cut several steam holes into the top crust.
• Return pie to the oven, and bake until the top crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling, about 30 more minutes. Let cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
