The Pilgrims could only dream of these sorts of fixin’s during the first Thanksgiving, and it’s a good thing too: they might’ve spent all their time with this inventive pie, made up of Thanksgiving leftovers, and forgotten about that “discovering a new land” idea altogether.
Ingredients
| 2 9-inch unbaked refrigerated pastry pie crusts | 1 oz. dried cranberries or ½ c. cranberry sauce |
| 12 oz. thick-sliced boneless turkey breast | 2 c. prepared herb seasoned stuffing |
| 2 c. buttered mashed potatoes | ¼ tsp. cracked black pepper |
| 2 c. turkey gravy, divided | cream or egg wash |
Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a pie plate with an unbaked crust. Place turkey in the bottom of the crust. Cover with mashed potatoes.
2. Pour 1 cup of gravy over the turkey. Add a layer of cranberry sauce. Spoon stuffing over the cranberry sauce. Pour on remaining gravy.
3. Sprinkle with pepper. Cover with top crust and flute edges.
4. Use a cream or egg wash and score top crust. Place pie plate on baking sheet. Bake for 45 minutes or until golden brown.
Serves 8.
