For some reason, I always buy a huge turkey for Thanksgiving and then I have a lot left over. I decided that I would share a recipe that is supposed to be one of the best left over turkey recipes ever…….

1 recipe pastry for a (10 inch) double
crust pie
4 tablespoons butter, divided
1 small onion, minced
2 stalks celery, chopped
2 carrots, diced
3 tablespoons dried parsley
1 teaspoon dried oregano
|
salt and pepper to taste
2 cubes chicken bouillon
2 cups water
3 potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 1/2 cups cubed cooked turkey
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup milk
|
| 1. | Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Roll out bottom pie crust, press into a 10 inch pie pan, and set aside. |
| 2. | Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat; add the onion, celery, carrots, parsley, oregano, and 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. |
| 3. | 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. Cool slightly, then 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. This recipe was highly recommended to me by a friend and I'm going to give it a shot. She got it from www.allrecipes.com and thinks it's the best. This really is a great website and I love the fact that you can change the number of servings to make it work for you. After I'm done with this, I think I'll be fairly "turkeyed out" for awhile and I'll go back to some chicken and beef! |
