Make
- Heat oven to 400F / 204C degrees.
- Spread sweet potatoes out on a sheet pan. Toss with oil, garam masala (portions for the sweet potatoes) and sugar. Season with some salt.
- Transfer sweet potatoes to the oven and bake, shaking the pan a few times while they cook, until tender, ~30 minutes.
- While potatoes roast, heat a large 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, flour and tomato paste and saute until no dry spots of flour remain.
- Add turkey and cook, breaking turkey apart, until turkey is cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes.
- 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.
- Remove skillet from heat and cover with puff pastry (if it's too big, trim with scissors). Use a fork to press the edges of the pastry against the sides of the skillet and trim off any excess.
- Whisk egg yolk and water and brush over puff pastry. Make a few slits with a knife and bake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, until golden.
- Serve pot pie and sweet potatoes with yogurt. Enjoy!

I am absolutely making this again. It was amazing. I added some turmeric and cayenne but that doesn't change it too much.
0 HelpfulI'm not a big fan of the puffed pastry crust, so I made a mashed potato base and a drop biscuit crust and it was delicious!
0 HelpfulDelicious! We aren't huge fans of curry stuff, but this was fabulous. I used our large cast iron skillet, which was perfect.
