Individual Turkey Pot Pies

Serves: 4
Ingredients

1 package of frozen puff pastry
1 egg, beaten
2 cups leftover cooked turkey
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons cooking oil
1/3 cup butter
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 small yellow onion, minced
1 cup peas, cooked
1 cup chopped cooked carrots
Pinch fresh grated nutmeg, optional
Special equipment: 4 (2-cup) individual baking dishes

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Separate puff pastry into its constituent squares, then roll out to 1/4 inch thickness. Divide each sheet into 4 squares so you have eight in total.
3. In a large saucepan, melt butter and then slowly add flour, stirring until consistency of peanut butter, but not brown like a roux.
4. Stir in cream until incorporated with flour, then chicken broth, garlic, and onion and stir until thickened.
5. Add peas, carrots, optional nutmeg, and turkey. Remove from heat.
6. Line individual oven-proof bowls with base layer of puff pastry, then add chicken mixture and top each with a puff pastry lid. Repeat until you have 4 identical bowls. Don’t worry about excess dough, you can either trim it off, or fold it around the the top.
7. Brush lids with egg wash then bake for 15 minutes or until browned. Any remaining pie filling may be frozen.

TIP: If you prefer, bake in one large pie dish. Just roll out the puff pastry squares into two sheets and trim excess. Or you can use a pre-made pie crust and top with puff pastry.
