- 1 large stalk celery, diced
- 1 large carrot, peeled and diced
- 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1 cup chicken or turkey broth
- 2 heaping cups diced cooked turkey
- 3/4 cup corn kernels
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley
- 1 tbsp fresh chopped thyme
- 1 Diamond of California® Pecan Pie Crust
- 1/2 cup cranberry sauce
- 3 cups prepared stuffing
The Steps
- In a medium pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, celery and carrot and sweat until the veggies are tender, 4-5 minutes.
- Add the flour and stir well to incorporate. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add the broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Stir in the turkey and corn. Simmer the mixture for 2-3 minutes. Stir in the cream, salt, pepper, parsley and thyme. Simmer for 2 minutes more, then cool completely.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F with the rack in the lower third of the oven). Place the pie crust on a baking sheet. Spread the cranberry sauce into the base of the pie crust in an even layer.
- Fill the pie with the cooled turkey filling – it should come all the way up to the edge of the crust. Pile the stuffing on top of the pie.
- Transfer the pie to the oven and bake until the turkey filling is bubbly and the stuffing is well toasted, 30-35 minutes. Cool at least 15 minuted before slicing and serving.
