With the leftovers from the Thanksgiving turkey, I made a broth which later became a soup and two of these pot pies which I then froze. From freezer to 425 degree oven, and 45 minutes later, we had this beauty.
Now it's a crappy Kroger pie crust -- and I say it's crappy not because it's Kroger but because it cracked a bunch and was difficult to sit on top of the pot pie. But it turned out just fine.
The filling is based on a Joy of Cooking recipe. Bechamel with some turkey broth in it. Then turkey cubes, carrots, onions, potatoes, and peas. All nice and local, except the peas. It turned out so well.
And here it is on the plate. Creamy. Dreamy.
We went to the market for the first time in forever. We have a few dinners out this week, but I still bought a lot. All McMullan loot, we have a huge sweet potato, kale, spinach, sugar snap peas, yukon golds, cauliflower, broccoli and tomatoes.
We still had broccoli and spinach which have miraculously surprised since we last bought them... about three weeks ago. The broccoli needed some severe cleaning, but probably more than 3/4 of the spinach survived.
I roasted the broccoli in the oven and sauteed the spinach with garlic. I boiled then smashed some yukons with parsley and Il Bel Cuore olive oil. And I served that with my delicious branzino with salsa verde.
And lastly, merry rye! We picked up these cute little wine hats and scarves at H&F Bottle Shop and put them onto a bottle of bourye and templeton rye. It makes me smile to see them there on the shelf! :)
