Author's Notes

Recipe yields 6-8 servings.

It's important to use hot chicken or turkey broth. Pouring cold liquid into the hot flour mixture will cause the flour to congeal, and you will have lumps in your sauce. Using hot broth maintains a steady temperature throughout the mixture allowing all flour particles to become incorporated before the flour cooks.

Be sure to leave an overhang of puff pastry. Otherwise, the stew will bubble up over the pastry, preventing it from cooking properly.

Cooking Instructions

step 1
Melt the Unsalted Butter (4 Tbsp) in a large pot or Dutch oven until foamy. Stir in Carrots (225 g), Celery (150 g), and Onions (75 g), Sauté for 5 minutes until they start to soften.
step 2
Sprinkle in All-Purpose Flour (4 Tbsp) and stir to coat all the vegetables. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring often.
step 3
Over medium heat, slowly add Chicken Broth (240 mL), stirring constantly until the mixture comes to a boil (the mixture will be very thick).
step 4
Add another cup of Chicken Broth (480 mL) and stir until smooth and the mixture comes to a simmer. Repeat with the remaining broth.
step 5
Reduce heat to low and add Baby Potatoes (360 mL), Fresh Thyme (1 tsp), Fresh Parsley (1 tsp), Kosher Salt (1/4 tsp), and Ground Black Pepper (1/4 tsp). Simmer, partially covered for 10-12 minutes until potatoes are almost tender (this will depend on the size of your diced potatoes).
step 6
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
step 7
Next, prep the puff pastry dough. Dust your work surface with flour and roll the Puff Pastry (1 sheet) into a 13x9-inch rectangle or large enough to overhang your casserole dish. The dough should be 1/8-1/4 inches thick.
step 8
Stir in the Turkey (480 mL) and Frozen Green Peas (110 g) into the stew and adjust to taste with salt and pepper. Pour the mixture into a greased 12x8-inch or 2-quart equivalent casserole dish.
step 9
Drape rolled puff pastry over the casserole, pressing the overhang onto the edge of the dish.
step 10
Whisk a Large Egg (1) and Cream (1 Tbsp) together in a small bowl and brush evenly over the puff pastry.
step 11
Cut 6-8 slits in the puff pastry to allow steam to escape. Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden and the pastry is cooked through.
step 12
Remove from oven and serve immediately.
