INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 pound rutabaga, cut in 1/2-inch dice
  • 2 large carrots, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
  • 1 cup frozen lima beans or butter beans
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 1/2 cups milk
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 chicken flavor bouillon cube or equivalent granules or base
  • 4 cups cooked turkey, cut up
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 egg white, beaten

PREPARATION:

About 2 hours before serving, cook rutabaga and sliced carrots until tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in frozen lima beans and cook until thawed and separated. Drain vegetables well.

Meanwhile, in 12-inch skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add mushrooms and cook until browned; remove to a large bowl. Add 1 more tablespoon of butter to the skillet; add 2 tablespoons water. Cook chopped onion until tender. Mix milk with flour until smooth; stir into onion mixture with Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and bouillon. Cook, stirring until sauce boils and thickens. Boil 1 minute. Reserve 1 cup turkey. Stir sauce, carrot mixture, and remaining turkey into mushrooms; spoon into a deep 3-quart casserole. Top with reserved turkey.

Preheat oven to 375°. Roll pastry to a round about an inch larger than top of casserole; trim as needed. Brush rim of casserole with egg white. Place pastry over filling; pinching edge for tight seal. With a sharp knife, cut several slits in pastry top; brush with egg white. Place the turkey pie on a cookie sheet and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until filling is hot and pastry is browned; cover the top with foil if browning too quickly.
