Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams all-purpose flour
- 100 grams unsalted butter (chilled, cubed)
- 3 tablespoons cold water
- 250 grams cooked turkey (shredded)
- 1 medium yellow onion (thinly sliced)
- 2 medium carrots (diced)
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary (chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 60 milliliters heavy cream
- 50 grams grated parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the cubed butter and use your fingertips to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing with a fork until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the sliced onion and diced carrots. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
Add the garlic, thyme, and rosemary to the skillet and cook for another 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the shredded turkey, heavy cream, parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and remove the skillet from the heat. Set the filling mixture aside to cool slightly.
On a floured surface, roll the chilled dough into a rough 12-inch circle. Transfer the rolled-out dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Spoon the turkey filling onto the center of the dough, leaving at least a 2-inch border around the edges.
Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pleating as necessary to create a rustic crust. The center of the tart should remain exposed.
Brush the folded edges of the dough with the beaten egg to create a golden, shiny finish.
Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crisp.
Remove from the oven and let the tart cool slightly on the baking sheet before slicing and serving.
