Kittencal's Turkey Or Chicken Pot Pie

This filling is also wonderful served over baked puff pastry shells or texas toast instead of baking in a pie shell --- make two and freeze one for another meal! To save time you may cook the potatoes a day ahead and refrigerate, since the bouillon powder has a high sodium content do not add in any salt until the end of cooking ;-)

Steps

Fit one pastry into the bottom of a 9 or 10-inch deep-dish pie plate.

Set aside.

In a large skillet heat 1 / 3 cup butter over medium heat.

Add in onion , garlic , celery , thyme and cayenne cook for about 4 minutes.

Add in flour and bouillon powder.

Stir with a wooden spoon for 1-2 minutes.

Slowly add in the chicken broth and heavy cream.

Heat stirring with a wooden spoon until bubbly and thickened.

Add in cooked turkey and frozen vegetables.

Simmer over low heat for about 15 minutes.

Mix in cooked cubed potatoes , then season with black pepper and a little salt to taste.

Pour the mixture into the pie shell.

Roll one pastry over top , seal and and flute the edges as desired.

Using a small sharp knife make 3 slits into the top of the crust.

Place the pie onto a baking sheet.

Bake at 425 degrees f for 10 minutes.

Reduce oven temperature to 350 degres f and continue baking for 30 minutes or until the pie bubbles slightly out of the top slits and the crust is golden brow.
