Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams lean ground turkey
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 1 medium, diced carrot
- 1 medium, diced celery stalk
- 100 grams frozen peas
- 375 ml low-sodium beef broth
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 250 grams whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 50 grams, cubed cold unsalted butter
- 125 grams Greek yogurt
- 60 ml cold water
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 for brushing egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
In a large non-stick skillet, over medium heat, cook the ground turkey until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess liquid.
Add the diced onion, carrot, and celery to the turkey. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft, about 8 minutes.
Stir in the all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute.
Add the low-sodium beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the frozen peas and remove from heat. Set aside to cool slightly.
To make the crust, combine whole wheat pastry flour, baking powder, and salt in a food processor.
Add the cold butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the Greek yogurt and pulse a few times to combine.
Slowly add cold water, pulsing until the dough just comes together.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead a few times to bring it together. Roll out to fit your 23 cm (9-inch) pie dish.
Place the crust in the pie dish, trimming any excess. Fill with the meat mixture.
Roll out the remaining dough and place over the filling. Seal and flute the edges. Cut slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
Brush the top crust with egg wash.
Bake in the preheated oven until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly, about 30 minutes.
Let the pie cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your low fat hearty meat pie!
