How to Make Turkey Pot Pie with Puff Pastry Crust
Step 1: Prep Ingredients
First step is to gather all your ingredients, chop all the veggies and make sure the puff pastry has been on the counter thawing. Then it's time to make this delicious and comforting dish!
Step 2: Make the Filling
In a large deep sided skillet, melt butter and oil over medium heat. Then add the onions, carrots, celery and potatoes. Saute until the onions are translucent. Add the garlic, thyme, parsley, salt and pepper and cook until the garlic is really fragrant-about 1 minute. Next, sprinkle everything with the flour and stir it all together and cook for another minute or two. Slowly stir in the chicken broth while constantly stirring, then slowly stir in the cream. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until the potatoes are tender-about 4-5 minutes. Finally stir in the cooked turkey, peas and corn, then remove from heat.
Step 3: Build the Pot Pie
Pour the filling into a greased 9x13 baking dish. Roll the puff pastry out into a 11x15 rectangle and place on top of the filling. Prick the pastry all over with a fork - about 10 times. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water until frothy. Brush the egg wash all over the puff pastry.
Step 4: Bake it!
Bake the pot pie in a 400° oven for 30-35 minutes until the puff pastry is a deep golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Let cool and rest about 10 minutes before serving.
How to Freeze Turkey Pot Pie
Once the pot pie is assembled, let it sit until the filling is completely cooled. Then wrap tightly with plastic wrap and then foil. Label and date on top of the foil. This will last 3-4 months in the freezer.
To bake: take pot pie out the night before and thaw overnight in fridge. Uncover the pot pie and bake as directed and add an additional 15-20 minutes to the bake time. The additional time will all depend on how thawed the pot pie is before going in the oven.
Or you can bake the pot pie from frozen. Take the plastic wrap off and cover back up with foil. Bake for 30 minutes covered and then bake for another 30-45 minutes uncovered until the puff pastry is deep golden brown and filling is bubbly.
