Curried Turkey Pot Pie

Turkey pot pie is a traditional favorite, and we've given this version a unique, Indian-inspired twist.
Smarts: Almond flour crust is more like a savory cobbler topping than the traditional puff pastry crust, but is a great way to make this gluten-free version close to the original.

  2. Season turkey - Combine turkey with garlic, ginger, curry powder, garam masala (portion for the pot pie), salt, paprika, and cumin. (Can be done 1 day ahead)

Make

  1. Heat oven to 400F / 204C degrees.

  2. Spread sweet potatoes out on a sheet pan. Toss with oil, garam masala (portions for the sweet potatoes), and sugar. Season with some salt.

  3. Transfer sweet potatoes to the oven and bake, shaking the pan a few times while they cook, until tender, ~30 minutes.

  4. While potatoes roast, heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil (portion for the pot pie) and then onions and carrots with a pinch of salt. Saute until onions and carrots are softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add butter (portion for the pot pie), flour, and tomato paste and saute until no dry spots of flour remain.

  5. Add turkey and cook, breaking turkey apart, until turkey is cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes.

  6. Next add in peas (no need to defrost them, just break them up as they cook), stock, and coconut milk. Bring to a simmer and simmer for 2 minutes.

  7. Remove skillet from heat and spread almond crust over top. Use a spoon to spread it out so it reaches (or nearly reaches) the sides of the pan.

  8. Bake pot pie in the oven for 10 to 20 minutes, until golden.

  9. Serve pot pie and sweet potatoes with yogurt. Enjoy!
