Method

Make it happen

  1. 01

    Rub the butter into the flour and salt, leaving a few pea-sized pieces. Add cold water gradually to bring the dough together. Roll into a rectangle, fold in thirds twice and chill for 30 minutes to make a quick rough-puff pastry.

  2. 02

    Roll pastry to 4 mm thick, large enough to cover a 24 cm pie dish.

  3. 03

    Brown turkey in oil, add sliced mushrooms and leek and cook until softened.

  4. 04

    Stir in flour, add stock and simmer until turkey is cooked through and the sauce thickens, about 18 minutes. Stir in crème fraîche and thyme and cool.

  5. 05

    Heat the oven to 190°C fan. Transfer the filling to a 24 cm pie dish and let it cool enough that it will not melt the pastry. Lay on the rolled pastry, press around the rim and cut two small steam holes.

  6. 06

    Bake for 35 minutes until the homemade pastry is puffed, deeply golden and cooked through. Rest 10 minutes before serving.
