So, like most people, I had a lot of leftover turkey after Christmas dinner.
So I broke the turkey apart and put about half in the fridge and we ate it over the few days after Christmas, including a pie I made Boxing Day.
The rest I put in the freezer.
The Boxing Day pie, while tasty, was not to my satisfaction. I had decided to make a double crusted pie for the first time in my life and it didn’t occur to me to not blind bake the bottom crust. So then I had to try to adhere the raw top crust to the cooked bottom crust. It tasted okay but the pastry wasn’t really done to my satisfaction.
Cook’s Note: No, I did not make pastry. I never do. Angela Harnett, one of my cooking heroines, never makes her own pastry. She buys the refrigerator stuff. So I do too. 🙂
So tonight I’m trying again. I defrosted some of the turkey. I precooked some veg. I placed it between two uncooked crusts:
Uncooked...
It smelled wonderful when it came out of the oven. And looked like this:
Cooked!
It even tasted good!
Something I will definitely make again. With two crusts. And cook it for slightly less time. 🙂
