Turkey Pot Pie Ingredients:
3-4 lb turkey, chopped into sections or pieces
Pie dough (recipe below)
1/4 cup of butter
Pepper and salt
1 cup low-fat milk (do not use non-fat milk)
4 cups turkey stock
8" baking dish or pie pan
To Prepare:
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Put the pieces of turkey in a big pot and add just enough water to cover the top of the turkey. Bring to a boil and then lower the heat to medium-low and slowly boil until the meat is shredding. As the turkey cooks, you can prepare the pie dough and grease the baking dish.
Cut the dough in half and then roll out one half to about 1/8 inch thick. Gingerly cover the rolled out dough in the bottom of the dish. If there is any leftover dough, cut it from the edges of the pan and reserve.
Place shredded turkey in the dish as well as any remaining pie dough. If possible, layer the turkey and the leftover pie dough. Add the milk and dot with two tablespoons of butter. Sprinkle with salt/pepper to your preference.
Then take the other half of the pie dough and roll into a long 1/4 inch thick rectangle. Dice the other 2 tbsp of butter into tiny pats and distribute along the dough. Fold the pie dough into thirds and roll out. Repeat. This will ensure that the butter is blended into the dough. Roll out into a thin circle and place on top of the bottom half of the pie. Squeeze the edges together and then cut a hole in the top to let hot air to vent.
Bake the pie in your oven for 35-45 minutes until the juices are bubbling and the crust is golden brown.
Pie Dough Recipe
2 cups of flour
1 teaspoon of salt
1 cup butter, cut into small pieces or shortening
3/4 cup ice water
To Prepare:
In a large mixing bowl, mix the flour and salt and then work the butter lightly into
the flour using either two forks or a pastry blender. When the flour mixture looks like coarse meal, slowly pour in the ice water and mix just until the dough holds together. Do not over mix, or else the pie dough will become "gummy". Cover in plastic wrap and chill in your fridge for 60 minutes in order to "rest".
