Here is a little comfort fast food and a great idea to make use of all your holiday leftovers. I used some roasted turkey breast, honey glazed ham, ready made pie crusts, puff pastry sheets, cream of mushroom, diced onions, diced peppers, brown rice, dried cranberries, cheddar jack cheese and mixed veggies. Started out by sweating the onions and peppers, in a little butter, in a pan. Once the desired color was obtained, I added the meat(s) and warmed them up. Then added the cream of mushroom, cooked brown rice, veggies and cranberries. Seasoned the mixture, with salt, pepper, garlic powder and a touch of cinnamon. I set up the deep pie crusts and let the puff pastry thaw out( about 45 minutes). Once the stuffing was cooled, then poured into each pie crust.
Topped with cheddar cheese and then rolled out the puff pastry, crimped to the crust, with an egg wash mixture and used a fork to secure to the crust.. Made four slits to allow for ventilation and egg washed the top for a golden crust. Pre-warmed the oven to 400 degrees, and then placed the pies on a sheet pan for about 10-14 minutes.
Let the pie cool off a few minutes and dig in. This is what the cut section looks like.
A good wholesome meal with minimal effort and maximum satisfaction. This was a big hit with our guests. Definitely a crowd pleaser! Enjoy!
Spend less time in the kitchen and more time with the family and friends! Happy Holidays!
