Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked turkey, diced
- 1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 pie crust
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure that your pie cooks evenly and thoroughly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced cooked turkey, corn, milk, flour, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper. Stir the mixture until all the ingredients are well combined and the flour is evenly distributed.
- Prepare a 9-inch pie dish by placing the pie crust into the dish. Gently press the crust against the bottom and sides of the dish, ensuring there are no air bubbles.
- Pour the turkey and corn mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly with a spatula to ensure even cooking.
- If desired, you can add a sprinkle of additional shredded cheddar cheese on top of the filling for extra flavor and a nice golden crust.
- Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
- Once the pie is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. This will help the filling set and make it easier to serve.
- Serve warm, and enjoy your delicious New England Corn and Turkey Pie with a side salad or your favorite vegetable for a complete meal!
Tips
- Use leftover roasted turkey for maximum flavor and to reduce cooking time.
- If using frozen corn, ensure it's thawed and well-drained to prevent excess moisture.
- For an extra crispy crust, brush the pie edges with an egg wash before baking.
- Let the pie rest for 10-15 minutes after baking to allow the filling to set properly.
- For a more golden and glossy top, sprinkle a little extra cheese during the last 5 minutes of baking.
- Experiment with adding herbs like thyme or parsley to enhance the pie's flavor profile.
- Serve with a light, crisp salad or tangy coleslaw to balance the pie's richness.
