Recipe Added:  4/1/2012
2 medium potatoes, peeled, chopped
3 medium carrots, sliced
1 medium onion, chopped
1 celery rib, diced
2 Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp olive oil
6 Tbsp flour
3 cups chicken broth
 4 cups cubed cooked turkey
2/3 cup frozen peas
1/2 cup + 1 Tbsp whipping cream
1 Tbsp minced fresh parsley
1 tsp garlic salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 pkg refrigerated pie pastry
1 egg
In a Dutch oven, saute the potatoes, carrots, onion and celery in butter and oil until tender. Stir in flour until blended; gradually add broth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in the turkey, peas, 1/2 cup cream, parsley, garlic salt and pepper. Spoon into two ungreased 9-in. pie plates. Roll out pastry to fit top of each pie; place over filling. Trim, seal and flute edges. Cut out a decorative center or cut slits in pastry. In a small bowl, whisk egg and remaining cream; brush over pastry. Cover and freeze one potpie for up to 3 months. Bake the remaining potpie at 375° for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting.
