0:06
I want to find some ways to incorporate
0:10
my leftovers into a brand-new dish that
0:14
the family's not going to realize that
0:16
they're really having leftovers and you
0:19
know I make chicken pot pies I make
0:21
seafood pot pies well why not a turkey
0:24
pot pie so that's what I'm gonna do with
0:27
this leftover turkey now I'm gonna begin
0:30
with a store-bought puff pastry this is
0:34
one sheet of frozen puff pastry that's
0:39
been thawed and I've dusted it with a
0:41
little flour so that I can work with it
0:44
and it not stick to my hands and I'm
0:47
gonna start by cutting strips of our
0:50
puff pastry with a fluted wheel now if
0:53
you don't have a wheel you can use just
0:56
a regular plain knife and it'll just
0:58
give you a straight edge but this is
1:01
what your puff pastry is gonna start out
1:03
looking like and this is what it's going
1:05
to look like after we cut it I've got
1:08
some cut and ready de lattice over here
1:11
I've already started the lattice work
1:13
now I've gotten two pieces down now I'm
1:17
gonna raise the two pieces of pastry
1:19
that are underneath the last strip of
1:23
pastry that went down I'm gonna lay them
1:25
back and then Nestle that other strip
1:28
right there and then now the opposite
1:31
strips are on the bottom and I'm just
1:34
gonna lift those up and lay the last
1:37
strip right there and you can see we've
1:39
got a pretty lattice topping now if you
1:43
feel like this is too big for the
1:45
container that you're gonna put it in
1:46
all you have to do is trim your edges to
1:50
fit your pan it's just that simple you
1:54
can make it work with just just a spin
2:05
all right now we're going to put this in
2:07
the oven and we're going to bake it
2:09
until it's a light brown and it's puffed
2:12
up now you don't want to overcook this
2:16
or over brown it because after we get
2:20
the center of our potpie done we're
2:24
gonna put this on top of that and it's
2:26
going back in the oven so you'll want to
2:29
make sure that you don't get it too dark
2:31
that first go-around and I've got an egg
2:34
and a little milk and I'm just going to
2:37
give it a brush and this is gonna make
2:40
our puff pastry real shiny and and brown
2:46
it's gonna be just beautiful and we cook
2:49
our crust the same way at the
2:52
restaurants but we have air driven
2:55
convection ovens that air from those
2:57
convection ovens kinda blows these edges
3:01
up every whichaway so they'll come out
3:03
all funky and pretty well this one's
3:06
more than likely because I'm cooking
3:08
this in a regular oven just kind of kind
3:09
of lay down so let's get this in the
3:12
oven okay now for the filling for our
3:22
potpie I'm gonna start with a onion one
3:28
whole diced onion I'm gonna use two cups
3:37
a butternut squash that's been cooked
3:43
so those onions are smelling delicious
3:46
alright now to this pot I'm going to add
3:49
two cans of cream of celery soup two
3:57
cans of cream of cheddar soup you could
4:02
change this to cream of chicken or cream
4:05
of mushroom alright I'm just mixing that
4:09
up and I'm gonna add one cup of whole
4:13
milk and then I'm gonna fold in that
4:17
surprise ingredient we can't have turkey
4:20
without cranberries can we so I'm gonna
4:23
fold in one can of whole jellied
4:27
cranberry sauce and you can see the
4:32
whole berries so we're just gonna have
4:35
everything in this one pot now we're
4:39
gonna throw in our leftover turkey and
4:41
I'm using white and dark meat and we're
4:49
just gonna let this simmer okay now for
4:52
the filling for our potpie and you can
4:55
see it's nice and hot and bubbly and
4:57
when we put it in the oven that's the
4:59
way we want it we want it really
5:00
bubbling so we're safe to go ahead and
5:11
ladle this up into a casserole dish now
5:17
you'll want to make sure that when you
5:20
fill your dish up that you fill it up
5:23
high enough for the bottom of your puff
5:27
pastry to touch it otherwise you know
5:30
you could swing off the crust cause it's
5:32
got nothing to stick to it just kind of
5:35
run around on top of the dish and you
5:38
don't want that I don't want to overfill
5:41
it because when I put it in the oven I
5:42
don't want it baking over okay so let's
5:46
check on our puff pastry now and see if
5:47
it's done and then we're ready to put
5:50
this in the oven oh and look how pretty
5:52
that turned out gonna need to get a
5:59
how's this fuss bachelor that should do
6:04
the trick shipments all right now I'm
6:07
just gonna lay this crust right on top
6:12
of our filling and you see how I'm
6:14
pressing that down for that crust to
6:18
kind of sit down in that hot juice all
6:21
right so in the oven this is gonna go
6:27
I think our potpie is probably ready to
6:30
come out of the oven so let's see if
6:32
that's oh yeah that's ready look how
6:40
good that looks isn't that pretty
