Christmas Turkey Pie
Serving
Makes enough for 6 good portions
Ingredients
- 400g (ish) left-over Christmas turkey
- 200g ham if you have any left..
- 1 red pepper
- 1 can Campbell's condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1 onion
- 1 leek
- 1 clove of garlic
- 1 400g pack of jus-roll or ready roll pastry
- 1 sprig (or 1 tsp) of thyme
- butter to grease a pie dish
- 1 egg to glaze
- salt and pepper to season
Method
- Finely chop onion
- Finely chop garlic
- Slice leek
- Slice red pepper
- Fry onion, garlic, leek and pepper gently in a little oil
- When softened, add the ham and turkey
- After they've warmed through, add the condensed soup
- Add thyme
- Season as required
- Bring to a gentle simmer
- We are looking for a fairly thick and creamy overall consistency. Add a little water if it feels a bit too thick
- Meanwhile..
- Oven at 180c Fan
- Grease a 28cm (ish) pie dish
- beat the egg in a small bowl
- We are going to blind bake the pastry base
- Roll out a sheet of pastry about 5cm wider overall than the dish (if using the 400g jus-roll pack, this works with about 225g, a bit more than half of the pack)
- Place pastry into pie dish and ease into the edges of the dish so that the pastry comes up and around the whole dish, overlapping the edges
- Scrunch up some baking parchment, then smooth out a bit and place it into the pie dish covering the pastry
- Using ceramic beans or some other heavy dry granular material (you can use rice, but it seems like a waste to me) fill the pie dish so that the beans hold down the parchment onto the pastry
- Bake in oven for 5-10 minutes
- Roll out the rest of the pastry to form a lid
- When the blind baking is done, remove all beans and parchment
- Pour turkey mix into the pie
- Coat the rim of the pastry with beaten egg where the top will adhere to it
- Place pastry lid on the top
- Seal lid down with a fork pressed around the edges
- Cut a couple of holes in the pastry lid once on to allow steam to escape
- Glaze pie lid with the beaten egg
- Bake in oven for 20-30 minutes
- Serve with chips
