1 1/2 cups water
1 large potato, cubed
1 medium onion chopped (1/2 cup)
1/2 cup celery, chopped
2 tsp. instant chicken bouillon granules
1/2 tsp. ground sage
1/2 tsp. ground marjoram

1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 pie crust mix
1/3 cup milk
3 tbls. all-purpose flour
2 cups chopped, cooked VT turkey
1 cup shredded VT cheddar cheese
1 fresh VT egg, beaten

In a large saucepan, combine water, potato, onion, celery, bouillon granules, sage, marjoram, and garlic powder. Bring to boiling, reduce heat; cover and simmer about 15 minutes or until vegetables are nearly tender. Meanwhile, prepare pie crust mix according to package directions. Lightly flour a pastry sheet and roll pie crust to a 1/8 inch thickness about the size of your pan. Pierce pastry to allow steam to escape. Stir together milk and flour; add to cooked vegetable mixture. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Add turkey, heat through. Remove from heat; stir in cheese until melted. Turn mixture into 1 1/2-quart baking pan. Lay pastry over turkey mixture; flute edges. Brush pastry with beaten egg. Bake uncovered in a 375 degree oven for about 35 minutes or until golden. Makes 4-5 delicious servings.
If available, use 1 1/2 cups of Vermont turkey juices saved at time of roasting turkey. |
