CLASSIC CHICKEN POTPIE

Steps:

• Make the crust: In a food processor, pulse together flour, sugar, and salt. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal, with a few pea-size pieces of butter remaining. Sprinkle with 3 tablespoons ice water. Pulse until dough is crumbly but holds together when squeezed (if necessary, add up to 2 tablespoons ice water); do not overmix.
• Form dough into a disk, wrap tightly in plastic, and refrigerate until firm, 1 hour or overnight (or freeze, up to 1 month).
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Make the filling: In a large pot, melt butter over medium-high. Add onion and carrots and cook until softened, 8 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add flour and stir to coat vegetables.
• Slowly add broth, whisking constantly until sauce is smooth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until thickened, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in peas. Season with salt and pepper, then stir in chicken and parsley. Pour filling into a 2-quart baking dish.
• On a floured work surface, roll out dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Place dough over dish and fold overhang inward while pinching to crimp edge. Cut vents in dough. Place dish on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling around edge, 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes before serving.

TURKEY POT PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Roll out bottom pie crust and place in the 10 inch pie pan and set aside.
• Place 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet. Add the onion, celery, carrots, parsley, oregano, salt and pepper. Cook and stir until the vegetables are soft. Stir in the bouillon and water. Bring mixture to a boil. Stir in the potatoes, and cook until tender but still firm.
• In a medium saucepan, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Stir in the turkey and flour. Add the milk, and heat through. Stir the turkey mixture into the vegetable mixture, and cook until thickened. Pour mixture into the unbaked pie shell. Roll out the top crust, and place on top of filling. Flute edges, and make 4 slits in the top crust to let out steam.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue baking for 20 minutes, or until crust is golden brown.

CLASSIC POT PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
• Melt the butter in a large pot over medium-high heat, then add the onion, carrots, and celery. Stir them around until the onions start to turn translucent, about 3 minutes.
• Stir in the chicken or turkey and then sprinkle the flour over the top and stir it until it's all combined with the turkey and vegetables. Cook for 1 minute, then pour in the chicken broth (and wine if using) and stir it around and let it cook and thicken.
• Once it starts to thicken add the turmeric, salt, pepper, and thyme.
• Add the half-and-half or cream, then stir the mixture and let it bubble up and thicken, about 3 minutes. If it seems overly thick, splash in a little more broth. Turn off the heat.
• Pour the filling into a 2-quart baking dish. Roll out the pie crust on a floured surface and lay it over the top of the dish. Press the dough so that the edges stick to the outside of the pan. Use a knife to cut little vents here and there in the surface of the dough.
• Mix together the egg with 2 tablespoons water and brush it all over the surface of the crust. (You will have some egg wash left over.)
• Place the pie on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the crust is deep golden brown and the filling is bubbly. To prevent the crust from getting too brown, you might want to cover it lightly with foil for the first 15 minutes of baking time.
• Serve up servings by the (big ol') spoonful!

PATCHWORK PUFF PASTRY TURKEY POT PIE

Steps:

• Unfold 1 puff pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface. With a sharp knife, cut along the 2 line folds to create 3 strips. Cut each strip into 4 equal squares. Repeat the process with remaining puff pastry sheet. Place squares on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and refrigerate while preparing the filling.
• Melt butter in a large skillet with high sides over medium heat. Add mushrooms, shallot, garlic, salt, and pepper. Saute until mushrooms are browned and tender, about 8 minutes. Add sherry and simmer 2 minutes to cook off alcohol.
• While mushrooms cook, in a bowl, whisk together chicken broth, milk, and flour. Pour broth mixture into the mushrooms, add herbs, and stir to blend. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring frequently, until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Stir in turkey and green beans and taste for seasoning. Add salt and pepper if needed.
• Coat a 2 ½- to 3-quart baking dish with cooking spray. Spoon filling into dish and let cool while the oven preheats. (Cooling the filling will help the puff pastry rise more.)
• Preheat oven to 400°. Starting at the outside edge, arrange puff pastry squares over the cooled filling, overlapping the squares somewhat in a shingle pattern and making concentric circles. If you have any squares leftover, leave them on the baking sheet; they can be baked to serve with the pot pie.
• In a small bowl, whisk together egg yolk and 2 teaspoons water. Carefully brush egg wash on puff pastry squares, including any leftover squares.
• Bake pot pie until the pastry is puffed and deep golden and the filling is bubbling, 35-45 minutes. At the same time, bake any remaining puff pastry squares until browned and puffed, 15-20 minutes. If the top of the pot pie begins to brown too much before the pot pie is hot to the center (about 190° on an instant-read thermometer), shield it with aluminum foil during the last 10-15 minutes of baking.
• Scatter additional herbs over the pot pie if you like, and serve with extra puff pastry squares.
