Ingredients

  • 4 cups  shredded turkey breast
  • tablespoons  good quality olive oil, divided
  • 1 tablespoon  finely minced shallot
  • Zest from one lemon
  • 2 tablespoons  chopped flat-leaf Italian parsely
  • tablespoon  unsalted butter
  • 8 ounces  fresh cremini mushrooms, coarsely chopped
  • 2 leeks, white and pale green parts thinly sliced
  • 2 carrots, cut into a small dice
  • 1 teaspoon  dried thyme
  • 1/3 cup  dry white vermouth
  • 1/3 cup  flour
  • 4 cups  chicken broth or stock
  • 1/4 cup  heavy cream or half-and-half
  • 3/4 cup  frozen peas
  • 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, mix together the turkey, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, shallots, lemon zest, and parsley; set aside.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon of butter with 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a dutch oven. Sauté the mushrooms over medium-high heat until cooked through and lightly browned; transfer to a bowl, and set aside.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat in a clean dutch oven; add leeks, carrots, and thyme and cook until vegetables begin to soften (about 8 minutes). Raise the heat slightly, add the dry vermouth, and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated.
  • Add flour to the carrot mixture, stirring constantly for about 1 minute. Whisk in the stock and cream, then simmer until the sauce thickens (about 10 minutes); remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
  • Mix the cooled sauce with the lemon-parsley turkey, mushrooms, and frozen peas; divide the mixture between 4 mini-loaf pans.
  • Cut 4 pieces of puff pastry large enough to cover each loaf pan with 1/2 inch hanging over on each side. Crimp the edges with the tines of a fork to seal.
  • Preheat oven to 400° F. Brush the tops of frozen pies with egg and bake for 35 - 40 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
