Turkey Burger Pasty Pie

I bought a pallet load of turkey burger from Costco (just kidding, but a lot). I froze it and normally use it generally for burgers on the grill, meatballs, or white chili–but I wanted something new, so I searched online. This recipe is a hybrid of all the recipes I looked at. The pie is made with my “Fool-Proof Oil Pastry,” but any crust will do. It is a tasty, filling comfort dish. It serves 4-6,

Turkey Burger Pasty Pie

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Use 9 inch pie plate

3/4-1 lb turkey burger

1 medium onion, finely chopped

1/3-1/2 cup sweet potatoes, small cubes

2 medium potatoes, small cubes

2 carrots, small cubes

1/2 cup chopped cabbage.

1/4 cup chopped parsley

1 1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

Butter

Mix all ingredients, except for butter, in a medium bowl. Be sure salt and pepper are well integrated. Pile into bottom pie crust in 9 inch pan. Dot with butter (about 1-2 Tblsp). Place top crust over filling, and seal edge. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes. Lower heat to 350, and bake for another 55-60 minutes. If you wish, drizzle with gravy after serving.

CAROL’S FOOL-PROOF OIL PASTRY CRUST (rolled out between waxed paper)
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup vegetable or canola oil
3 Tablespoons COLD water

Mix flour and salt.  Blend in oil thoroughly with fork.  Sprinkle all of the cold water over the mixture.  Mix thoroughly.  Divide mixture into 2 balls.  Seal one ball in tupperware type bowl.  Sprinkle a few drops of water on the counter or board to keep wax paper from sliding.  Put 12-14 inch long piece of waxed paper (plastic wrap won’t work) down.  Put dough in middle. Flatten slightly with hand.   Put another piece of waxed paper on top of dough and roll out to pie plate size.  Take top wax paper off dough.  Flip over into pie plate and remove other waxed paper sheet.

Repeat again with other dough ball.
