  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup sliced button mushrooms
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 medium sweet potato, peeled and diced
  • 1/2 medium russet potato, peeled and finely diced
  • 1 celery stalk, finely diced
  • 2 large carrots, peeled and finely diced
  • 1/2 cup baby Brussels sprouts
  • 1 small fennel bulb, diced (or 1/2 teaspoon of fennel seeds)
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 1 1/2 cups dry white wine
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 2 Tablespoons butter
  • 2 Tablespoons unbleached white flour
  • 1 Tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon

  • 1 cup unbleached flour
  • 1/2 cup canola oil (or Crisco or another vegetable shortening)

Instructions

Filling Directions

In a large sauté pan, cook the onion, shallots and sliced mushrooms in the olive oil until the onions are transparent and the mushrooms are slightly browned.

Add the potatoes, carrots, celery, fennel, Brussels sprouts, and peas and cook for about 5 minutes.

Add the wine and the butter.

Mix the flour in the milk and pour it into the vegetables, stirring until the sauce is smooth and thickened and the vegetables are crisp tender, about 15 minutes.

Add the herbs, turkey, salt and pepper and stir.

Remove the bay leaf and discard it.

Crust Directions

To prepare the crust, mix the whole wheat pastry flour and unbleached flour together in a food processor using the dough blade.

Add the oil (or shortening), herbs and salt and mix well to form a dough.

Add up to 1/2 cup water (a little at a time) if the dough seems too dry.

Cut the dough in half and roll into a 13-inch circle.

If using a bottom crust (we didn’t use a bottom crust), fit the dough into a 1-quart, oiled, baking dish and trim the edges, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang.

Put It Together & Bake

Spoon the filling into the bottom crust.

Roll out the second half of the dough into a 12-inch circle.

Place it over the filling and trim the edges of the dough.

Make 4 incisions in the top crust with a knife to serve as vents. 

Bake the potpie at 350°F degrees for 45 minutes, or until the top crust is golden brown.

Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
