Golden & Flaky Phyllo Crusted Turkey Pot Pies (FOOD PHOTO SHOOT)
I’ve been all about comfort food this month and nothing says comfort like pie for dinner.
So let’s talk about these pies! I made them with ground turkey (obviously) and a mix of veggies that I can get almost everyone in my house to eat. I used broccoli, carrots, zucchini, and peas. Oh, and onions of course but that’s a given. Feel free to mix and match the veggies to your own taste. Any vegetable is going to taste good in a rich brothy stew that’s wrapped in pastry.
Now let’s talk about that crust. I have to admit that this is my first encounter with phyllo dough but it will not be my last. Who knew something could be so flaky and wonderful? I was so excited when we found it at the store because I didn’t think we could get it here.
It creates a slightly lighter option for these pies than a pie crust and it’s super easy too. That may be my favorite part of it. I spend plenty of time doing things the old-fashioned way but I have to admit that it’s nice to occasionally skip some steps and still achieve an amazing result. Trust me, I’ll still be rolling out pie crusts and spending all day making a bazillion tortillas because nothing beats homemade ones, but I can’t wait to try something else with phyllo. I’m thinking chocolate will be involved next time….what do you think?
Anyway, my brother seriously won’t stop talking about how much he loved these and that I have to make them again. He’s the one that thinks onions are life threatening and and gives you a deer-in-headlights stair if you expect him to eat a vegetable. Luckily I’ve gotten very good at hiding them. I’m not holding my breath that he will be eating salads anytime soon but we’re getting there.
And now I think I have said everything I wanted to about this recipe except that you must make it. You definitely should but I’ll leave that up to you. Maybe you’ll have more luck in resisting the powers of flaky pastry and warm turkey stew better than I can.
As always, the recipe is available upon request. The first request gets an upvote.

Ah Zucchini! Like the taste, hate the texture, unless it's chopped really small. Did you know we call then Courgettes over here in the UK?
I did not know that, or if I did, I forgot. Thanks for the support @movievertigo
In all the excitement I forgot to upvote the post! I've just done it now! :-)
Will you share the recipe with me dear?
Cheers

This is great! Good thing about pie is that you can come up with a filling with whatever you have in your fridge pretty much, so versatile.
Thanks for the recipe @gringalicious :D lovely pictures as always
Definitely. It's super versatile @dontstopmenow!

omg that looks bloody insane!!!!!!
'Bloody insane,' I love it. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment @allasyummyfood. I know we are all super crazy busy
What a great idea, to use phyllo dough on pot pies! I usually find pot pie to be a bit too rich and heavy for me (you know, the type of food that makes you want to take a nap afterward), but this looks like it would be lighter with a better texture but still a great taste!
You might still want to take a nap - LOL. Fantastic commenting, really well done. Thanks so much @ceciliakeirstead
Thank you for posting! I love your food photo shoots :)
I love, like crazy love pot pies!
I know you do. Maybe someday soon I will make this for you @fullofhope
This looks so delicious!
Thanks @askaran.

Tastes hidden under the phyllo dough… it still looks suspiciously tasty @gringalicious 😊
Glad you like it @lighteye
This food looks very delicious. Is this typical turkey food? I really want to walk to turkey country. A very beautiful country. Wish I could visit here friends.. because I really love this country..

Thanks @zye! This recipe actually has nothing to do with the country of Turkey but I can see that might be confusing.
