Turkey, Leek and Bacon Pie

Turkey, Leek and Bacon Pie

We actually had a Sunday roast on a Sunday, which is unusual for use. We seem to default to a roast on Wednesdays for some reason unknown to modern science….. But the £2 worth of Turkey thigh left us with quite a bit of cooked Turkey. Again our usual resort is a curry. But pies are also goooood!

Also there;s Leeks in here - So "L" for Leeks in our Ingredients Alphabet....

Ingredients:-

Cooked Turkey thigh, cut into large cubes
4 rashers of streaky Bacon, cut into small pieces
1 large Leek, cut into disks
1 Onion, chopped
A handful of Mushrooms, chopped
Margarine / Butter
Cornflour
Salt & Pepper to season
2 cloves of Garlic, minced
Milk
1 Egg, beaten
Puff Pastry (We cheated and used shop bought Gluten free pastry!)

Method:-

(1) Sauté the Onions in Margarine until translucent and add the Garlic cooking for a further 2 minutes.
(2) Season with Salt & Pepper.
(3) Add the chopped Bacon and stir until cooked.
(4) Add the Mushrooms and then the chopped Leek.
(5) Stir gently so you don’t break the Leek up.
(6) Add the Cornflour and stir in.
(7) Add Milk a little at a time until you have a rich sauce for the pie filling.
(8) Add the cooked Turkey and gently stir until the meat is thoroughly heated.
(9) Pour the filling into an oven proof deep sided dish and cover with Pastry.
(10) Brush the pastry with an Egg wash and place in the oven at 180C.
(11) When the Pastry is golden brown you’re good to go.

Camp Salami and Potato FrittataStrangely we found a pile of rather elderly eggs in the wood which had been dumped. Never look a gift horse in the mouth.
 
Ingredients:-
 
4 thin Salami sticks.
4 Egg 
300ml Semi skimmed Milk
4 medium sized Potatoes, peeled
1 Onion
2 cloves of Garlic
100g of grated Cheese
Salt and Pepper 
Vegetable oil
 
Method:-
 
(1) Parboil the Potatoes until they are soft enough to slice but not falling apart. Drain and set aside.
(2) Cut the Salimi stick in 1cm pieces.
(3) Whisk the Eggs, Milk, half of the grated Cheese, salt and Pepper.
(4) Slice the Onion, grate the Garlic and fry gently until the Onion is softened. Take off the heat.
(5) Slice the Potatoes.
(6) Add a little more Oil to the pan and place over a medium heat.
(7) Mix all the ingredients except the remaining grated Cheese and fry gently until it is cooked half way up from the bottom.
(8) If you have a grill heat it and place the Frittata on the top shelf to complete cooking. If not carefully flip it over in the pan.
(9) Sprinkle the remaining grated Cheese over the top and allow to melt slightly.
 
We garnished ours with wild Sorrel found in the meadows near the tent. Clearly not essential!
