Leftover Turkey and Leek Shepherd's Pie
- 2 1/4 teaspoons canola oil or olive oil, or any vegetable oil
- 2 large leeks white and light green parts only, well washed and thinly sliced
- 123 cups carrots thinly sliced
- 4 cloves garlic minced, or to taste
- 13 cup white wine dry
- 3 tablespoons flour, all-purpose
- 2 teaspoons sage freshly chopped or 1/2 teaspoon dried, rubbed
- 2 cups chicken broth, low salt or vegetable broth
- 2 cups turkey cooked and diced or shredded, or chicken
- 1 cup peas, frozen
- 1 x salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 pounds potatoes preferably yukon gold, peeled and cut into chunks
- 1/2 cup buttermilk nonfat, up to 3/4 cup
- 1 x salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 large eggs lightly beaten
- 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
- For the filling:
- Preheat oven to 425F.
- Add 2 1/4 teaspoons of oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat.
- Add leeks and carrots and cook, stirring, until the leeks soften, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Stir in garlic and cook, stirring, 1 minute more.
- Add wine and stir until most of the liquid has evaporated.
- Stir in flour and sage and cook, stirring frequently, until the flour begins to change into light brown, 1 to 3 minutes.
- Add broth and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and the carrots just start tender, 4 to 6 minutes.
- Stir in turkey and peas and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Remove from heat and transfer the mixture to a deep 10-inch pie pan or other 2-quart baking dish and set aside.
- For the mashed potatoes:
- Put potatoes in a large saucepan covered with cold water.
- Bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Cook, partially covered, until the potatoes are tender, 9 to 11 minutes.
- Drain well and return the potatoes to the pan.
- Cover and shake the pan over low heat to dry the potatoes slightly, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Remove from the heat.
- Mash the potatoes with a potato masher, fork or whip with an electric mixer, adding enough buttermilk to make a smooth puree.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Mix in egg and 1/2 tablespoon oil.
- Spread the potatoes evenly on top of the turkey mixture.
- With the back of a spoon, make decorative swirls.
- Arrange the baking dish on a baking sheet and bake until the potatoes and filling are heated through and the top is golden brown, 28 to 30 minutes.
- Cool for about 5 minutes.
- Serve warm.
