Turkey And Vegetable Hand Pies Recipes

Steps:

• In a food processor, combine flour, butter, baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal. While pulsing, gradually add ice water, until a dough begins to form. Turn onto a piece of plastic wrap, and pat into a 1-inch-thick square. Wrap, and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make filling: In a large skillet, heat oil over medium. Add onion, garlic, and carrot; cook, stirring occasionally, until carrot is tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Add turkey; cook, breaking up meat with a spoon, until no longer pink, 3 to 5 minutes. Add green beans and cream; cook until sauce is slightly thickened and green beans are tender, 2 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Cool to room temperature, about 10 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. On a lightly floured work surface, roll chilled dough into a 16-inch square; cut into 4 equal squares. Dividing evenly, place filling on one half of each square, leaving a 1/4-inch border around the filling. Brush border with water; fold dough over filling to enclose completely. Press edges to seal, then crimp with a fork. With the tip of a paring knife, cut 2 to 3 small vents on top. Transfer pies to two rimmed baking sheets; bake until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Roll out the pie crusts with a rolling pin on a lightly floured surface to 1/8 inch thick. Cut out rounds of dough with a 4 1/2-inch round biscuit cutter and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet. Gather and reroll the scraps if necessary; you should have a total of 12 rounds.
• Spread 1 teaspoon sweet potato in an even layer over half of each round, leaving a 1/4-inch border around the edge. Top each with 2 teaspoons stuffing, then 2 teaspoons turkey, and finally 1 teaspoon cranberry sauce. (You may redistribute some of the filling among the rounds so all the piles are even.) Whisk together the egg and milk in a small bowl to make an egg wash. Brush the egg wash around the edges of each dough round.
• Fold over each dough round to cover the filling, creating 12 half-moon shapes. With your fingers, press the edges together to seal, and then press with a fork to seal securely.
• Brush the top of each hand pie with the remaining egg wash. Make 3 small slits with a small paring knife on the top of each pie to let the steam escape. Bake until the dough is cooked through and golden brown, about 30 minutes. Serve warm with extra cranberry sauce and gravy on the side for dipping.

Steps:

• Heat butter in large skillet or Dutch oven.
• Add onions and celery; cook, covered 10 minutes, remove from heat.
• Stir in flour, salt, pepper and thyme until well combined.
• Gradually add broth and milk.
• Add corn or peas, turkey and potato.
• Bring to boiling, stirring constantly.
• reduce heat, simmer, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes.
• Turn into a 2-quart shallow baking dish.
• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Make pastry.
• Roll pastry to fit top of baking dish, with a 1/2-inch overhang.
• Place over turkey mixture; turn edge under; seal to rim of dish and crimp.
• Make several slits in top for steam vents.
• Beat egg yolk with water; brush over pastry.
• Bake 30 minutes or until crust is deep golden.
• NOTE: Use leftover turkey from roast turkey.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
• 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 broth.
• Bring mixture to a boil.
• Stir in the potatoes, and cook until tender but still firm.
• 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 1 unbaked pie shell.
• Cover with remaining crust.
• Flute edges, and make 4 slits in the top crust to let out steam.
• Place on a cookie sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
• Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C), and continue baking for 20 minutes, or until crust is golden brown. Note- Cooling the filling before putting in pie shell is EXTREMELY important, if it is too hot it will make the crust mushy.
