Photos of Turkey Leftover Pie with Cranberry-Date Stuffing
3 slices cubed. white bread or any kind of bread can be used.
pie fresh out of the oven! added some fresh parsley for color.
cover the pie gently and put on a cookie sheet and in the middle of a preheated oven.
I added the stuffing on top of the turkey mixture and sprinkled the fresh cranberries and chopped dates.
these are the dates I used. I chopped these and sprinkled them on the top of the pie along with the fresh cranberries.
add the turkey mixture to the pie crust, on top of the cranberry sauce.
spread homemade or canned cranberry sauce. here is my homemade orange-cranberry sauce that is spice with a little cinnamon and clove.
this is the image of the turkey mixed with the gravy etc. it is moist but not soupy. no need to add spice because the gravy has all the flavor here. You make the decision by tasting it add what you want.
add the turkey and just pull it apart if you want. add more sherry/chickstock if moisture is needed and then more gravy. You do not want it to be soupy because it will make the crust soggy. The turkey does a good job soaking up the gravy.
saute the mushroom, carrots, 2 tablespoon of onions and 2 tablespoon celery for about 5 minutes add water/chicken stock/cooking sherry near the end to keep things for burning. Then add the gravy at the end. blend thoroughly.
set the stuffing aside.
add the cubed bread to celery and onion and chicken broth and butter.
saute the celery and onions in 2 to 3 TBSPN of butter or 2 TBSPN and a TBSPN of olive oil/coconut oil. mixing frequently for about 3 minutes. Add the spices anytime. add the 3-4 TBSPN of chicken stock & once blended add bread & toss till blended.
