I [heart] Davids It helps me to say these things aloud, I think.

I was inspired to make turkey pot pies. I had made a bunch of turkey stock last weekend and pulled the leftover turkey bits out of the freezer, along with some cranberry sauce. Here’s what I envisioned – light pasty crusts filled with chopped turkey, diced sweet potatoes, carrots, peas, pearl onions and a heavenly cream sauce, served alongside bright cranberry sauce. Here’s the “Making of.”

Cutting the dough to fit the pie pans.Forming the dough in the pie shells.Sauteing the sweet potato and onions.Mixing the chopped turkey with canned peas and carrots. Whisking the cream sauce at a high boil.
Finished pie pans, with “lids” to the left.

One hour since I started, they are ready to go into the oven.
Fifteen minutes later, they are out of the oven, nice and brown. The finished product, served with cranberry sauce on the side – it was all very yummy!!
